After claiming to ‘cure’ homosexuality and manufacturing medicine that ‘helps’ women conceive a male child, Ramdev is back with Coronil, an Ayurvedic concoction for Covid-19.
Uttarakhand drug licensing body says Patanjali must prove how drug can treat Covid or lose Coronil licence. Patanjali spokesperson says everything is submitted according to govt rules.
Ayush ministry asked Patanjali to stop advertising its Coronil drug within hours of its launch but Patanjali CEO says protocol was followed & the drug had approvals.
Perhaps the present crisis and trauma can force our country into something resembling that special moment we found in the sixties. Perhaps we can radically alter our business environment.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Government’s soft response is baffling. If a quack launches a medicine claiming cure to a disease like Corona virus, why not register a case of fraud and / or misrepresentation of facts against him under the Penal laws? May I suspect that Government of Uttarakhand somehow – most likely due to a serious communication gap, approved it and when feeling the heat, is shielding itself under the garb of ‘asking for more information’ ? I will like to see its certification that the medicine was approved only as a cure for cold and fever.
Mr Ramesh Singh: But this quack finances the ruling BJP and hence the party is in his hands. Thus, he gets away with his cons and lives to con another day. If this charlatan’s medicines kill, I am pretty certain that he will get away with murder as well. And bhakths will come to his defence saying that he is a Hindu, a sanathan dharma guy and by definition sanathana dharma guys don’t cheat, he is anationalist, India has to be atmanribhar and such stuff. Meanwhile, the saffron man makes a lot of money, quietly.
India is a ground to safely play with the lives of people. Baba Ramdev ji is known figure and strong base in the ruling party. Unfortunately people want to make maximum money taking advantage of Covid. We can see illegitimate healers have erupted in large numbers Govt is helpless so allows anything and everything. I never advocate for any medicine unless it is not proven with scientific base. We can shortly hear the Coronil is approved. Fingers crossed.
