Pioneer News Service / LucknowÂ
In a prompt rejoinder to CPI-M leader Brinda Karat's allegations that animal parts and human bones were being used in ayurvedic medicines prepared by his pharmacy, Baba Ramdev said he was ready for a probe into the matter and accused Karat of acting at the behest of multi-national companies.
Alleging that ever since he began his campaign against Cola companies and allopathic drugs, MNCs had been targeting him, he said, "There is a ploy to destroy my entire effort of restoring yoga culture in the Indian family.''
Terming the allegations of using non-vegetarian substances in his herbal drugs as baseless, Swami Ramdev said in Lucknow on Tuesday that his firm, Divya Yog Pharmacy manufactured drugs in keeping with ayurvedic standards and had been certified by the Government.
Samples of medicines prepared by Divya Yog Pharmacy had never been collected officially and, therefore, no testing was carried out to ascertain whether it contained animal parts and human bones, he added.
He said that there were two separate companies, namely Divya Pharmacy and Divya Yog Pharmacy and the one whose samples were collected was not his.
Brinda Karat had alleged that Ramdev's medicines not only contained animal and human parts but also violated licensing and labelling provisions.
<b>Sample this!</b>
* Unlike norms for drugs testing, the alleged samples were not collected by independent health inspectors or state drug controllers, but by CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat herself
<b>* Samples collected and sent by Ms Karat to Department of AYUSH for examination were labelled Divya Pharmacy, Rishikesh in Uttranchal. Ramdev's unit is Dviya Yog Pharmacy, Khankal near Haridwar.
* Joint Secretary's letter to Ms Karat, which was distributed to media, said analysis report of the samples had been received. But did not say whether or not the Ayurvedic medicines contained animal parts and human skulls, as alleged by the CPI(M) leader.</b>
* The letter said prima facie there was a violation of "licensing and labelling" provisions anda sked the Uttranchal Governemnt to pursue the matter under Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940

how they had verified its human skull not bones from leg? Why they have sent it to AYUSH not any government agency?
These commies are scared of Ramdev popularity.
