BJP MLA from UP supports Ramdev & terms allopathy professionals as ‘criminals in white clothes’

May 28: Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Surendra Singh has joined the row between Ramdev and the doctors’ fraternity, saying the comments against the yoga guru are condemnable. The Bairia MLA took to Facebook on Thursday to back Ramdev for his remarks against allopathy, and termed him a flag bearer of the Indian medicine system.

“Those robbing the society by making the present the medical system expensive are giving lessons on morality. People who sell tablets worth Rs 10 for Rs 100 in the field of allopathy are criminals in white clothes, not well-wishers of society,” Singh said in a post on the social media platform.

He, however, went on to say both allopathy and Ayurveda are helpful. ‘Allopathy is useful but Ayurveda is no less. Physicians should serve the ailing people with this sense,’ the BJP MLA added.
