Be ready for action: Supreme Court lambast at Baba Ramdev; refuses to accept apology

Yog guru Baba Ramdev on Tuesday tendered an unconditional apology for violating the Supreme Court’s order for misleading advertisements for medicinal products at Patanjali.

The top court said, not only the Supreme Court, every order passed by the courts across this country has to be respected. This is absolute defiance.

"We are tendering an unconditional apology. He (Baba Ramdev) is here personally present to apologize," the advocate representing Patanjali told the court. Notably, Baba Ramdev and Balkrishna were present in person before the court. 

The top court observed that advertisements issued by Patanjali are in the "teeth of law" of the land. " Be ready for action," the Supreme Court told Ramdev.
