Swami Ramdev rebuts allegations on alleged male-child concieving medicine; to add disclaimers

New Delhi, May 1: A day after opposition MPs demanded a ban on a medicine from his pharmacy, yoga guru Ramdev today rebutted allegations that it was being sold for conceiving a male child and claimed that he was being targeted through “lies” to defame the Prime Minister. However, he said a disclaimer will be added on the package of the medicine ‘Putrajeevak Beej’ that it does not promise a male child and claimed it is named so after the scientific name of the herb ‘Putranjiva roxburghii Wall’.“MPs who have no clue about Ayurveda should be ashamed and should apologise to the nation. The medicine (pack) does not say anywhere that it helps in producing a son,” he told a press conference here, and demanded an apology from JD(U) MP KC Tyagi, who raised the issue in Rajya Sabha yesterday, accusing him of resorting to “lies”.
