The Uttarakhand division of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has sent Rs 1,000 crore defamation notice to yoga guru Ramdev for his recent statements on allopathy doctors and medicine. In the notice, IMA said if the yoga guru does not post a video countering the statements given by him and tender a written apology within the next 15 days, then a sum of Rs 1,000 crore will be demanded from him. Ramdev does not have a lot of knowledge about allopathy, despite that he is against allopathy and the doctors associated with it. The IMA on Saturday had sent a legal notice to the yoga guru over his alleged statements against allopathy and "defaming" scientific medicine. According to a Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust statement, Yog Guru Ramdev was reading out a WhatsApp forwarded message in the video that has gone viral on social media.
