The primary problem, she reiterated, was that the Hardwar Pharmacy had not honoured a tripartite agreement between the state government, the pharmacy and the agitating workers in May last year relating to the retrenchment of 113 workers.</i>

NEW DELHI, JANUARY 7 CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat’s campaign against Swami Ramdev was back to square one today as she said her main issue was with the flouting of labour laws at the ashram, not the presence of animal parts in his medicine.

Her statement came a day after West Bengal CPI(M) leader Subhas Chakraborty said he saw nothing wrong in the presence of animal bones in medicines. This was followed by CPI(M) patriarch Jyoti Basu wondering why an essentially labour issue had taken a different turn. Another top Politburo member had added that the issue had turned into a ‘‘Brinda versus Ramdev’’ affair.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Though Swami Ramdevji has said so many times that he is connected with Divya Yog Pharmacy in Khankal and not Divya Pharmacy in Haridwar, Karat keeps attacking Divya Pharmacy of Haridwar.
