As per news report of NDTV, sending him a legal notice that demanded a written apology and withdrawal of the statements, the topmost association of Indian doctors said Ramdev had damaged the reputation of practitioners of allopathy and modern medicine when they are striving to save lives during the pandemic.In a video that was widely shared on social media, Ramdev is heard saying at a recent event, "Lakhs of people have died because of allopathic medicines, far more than those who died because they did not get treatment or oxygen." He also purportedly called allopathy a "stupid and bankrupt" science.
