New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Wednesday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take action against yoga guru Baba Ramdev and that he should be charged with sedition.
IMA's president Dr JA Jayalal in his letter said that Ramdev is deliberately trying to stall the vaccination effort.

“We appeal to you to take appropriate action against individuals viciously propagating the message of fear on vaccination and challenge the Government of India’s protocol of treatment for their vested interest in their company products. This, in our opinion, is a clear-cut case of sedition and such people should be booked immediately without any delay and charged with sedition,” said Dr Jayalal.
Ramdev has allegedly said that 10,000 doctors have died despite taking both the dose of vaccine and lakhs of people have died due to allopathic medicine.
“When India initiated the vaccine rollout, IMA members across the country stood first to get the vaccine and dispelled vaccine hesitancy. With the sincere efforts of the government and the modern medical health care professionals, India could vaccinate nearly 20 crore people, one of the fastest vaccinations drive in the world,” said Dr Jayalal in his letter.
The IMA said that only 0.06 percent people were infected after vaccination. “It is well proved, that by vaccination we save our people and country from the catastrophe,” the letter said.
