Yoga guru Ramdev appeared in person to face the Supreme Court Today (April 2nd) over Patanjali Ayurved’s “misleading advertisements”. The Apex Court earlier issued a directive summoning Baba Ramdev to appear personally before the court as he had not filed a response to a show cause notice in the contempt proceedings initiated against Patanjali Ayurveda.
Patanjali Ayurved and Acharya Balkrishna on Wednesday apologized unconditionally to the Supreme Court for their contentious advertisements targeting evidence-based medicine, assuring not to repeat such campaigns. They emphasized the intention to promote Ayurveda for a healthier lifestyle. The Court had warned Patanjali in 2023, and recently mandated the personal attendance of Baba Ramdev and Balkrishna for the ongoing case.
