Overview

  • The Delhi High Court issued a contempt notice to Baba Ramdev for violating its April 22 order by releasing another video containing 'sharbat jihad' remarks.
  • Justice Amit Bansal observed that Ramdev 'lives in his own world' and appears to be 'not in control of anyone' after repeated defiance of court directives.
  • Hamdard National Foundation India filed the original plea against Ramdev and Patanjali Foods Ltd, accusing him of hate speech and communal provocation.
  • Ramdev’s lawyer assured the court that all videos under his control would be removed, and any additional flagged content would also be taken down.
  • The case highlights growing judicial scrutiny of communal rhetoric in marketing, with the court previously condemning Ramdev’s remarks as indefensible and conscience-shaking.
