The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Baba Ramdev to come forward and speak for himself on why the court should not initiate contempt proceedings against him for his irresponsible behaviour. The court pulled him up for advertising cure for diseases that are listed as incurable diseases in the Drugs And Magic Remedies Act. The court said that given Ramdev’s past track record, they were not fully convinced about his apology and said the top court will think if it wants to accept Ramdev’s apology or not.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Ramdev said that he is willing to make a public apology. Justice Hima Kohli said that the court wants to hear what Ramdev and Balkrishna have to say and asked them to come forward. Ramdev spoke in the court and said that he wants to offer unconditional apology and regrets his statements. Ramdev further explained that as Ayurveda and Allopathy are mostly pitched against each other, he got excited and got carried away and made those statements.
The court noted that to redeem themselves, the proposed contemnors have proposed to take some steps unilaterally and have requested for one weeks time. The court granted Ramdev and Balakrishna that time to take appropriate steps. The next hearing is on April 23.
