Supreme Court Rejects Ramdev's Apology in Contempt Case Over Misleading Ads
Ramdev and his aide Balkrishna face continued scrutiny as the Supreme Court demands concrete actions beyond apologies for misleading advertisements and false Covid cure claims.
- The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected apologies from Ramdev and Balkrishna, emphasizing the need for substantial action against their misleading advertisements.
- Ramdev's statements defaming allopathic medicine while promoting Patanjali's products have been a central issue in the ongoing legal proceedings.
- In response to the court's demands, Ramdev offered an unconditional public apology, yet the court has scheduled another hearing to assess the sincerity and intent behind these apologies.
- The court criticized the Uttarakhand government for its inaction against Patanjali, which has been accused of violating advertising laws with claims of curing diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- The next hearing is set for April 23, where Ramdev and Balkrishna must demonstrate their compliance with the court's directives.
