'Apology same size as ads?' SC asks after Patanjali says it has issued public apology
New Delhi: In response to accusations of promoting misleading advertisements, Patanjali Ayurved has issued a public apology in a leading daily newspaper. Despite this gesture, the Supreme Court is unwavering, granting a week's time for corrective measures and stressing the importance of sincerity. Ramdev and Balkrishna, key figures in the controversy, are summoned to appear before the court on April 23, highlighting their history of violations. This decision follows Patanjali's repeated infractions and previously rejected apologies, with criticism directed at the Union government for its silence.
In their public apology, Patanjali Ayurved expressed deep regret for their actions and assured the Supreme Court of their commitment to upholding its dignity and the constitution. Ramdev, speaking on behalf of the company, acknowledged the mistake of publishing misleading advertisements and pledged to prevent such occurrences in the future, reaffirming their dedication to the constitution and the court's dignity.
Despite recognizing Ramdev's contributions to yoga, the Supreme Court maintains scrutiny over him and Balkrishna, extending a deadline for rectification and demanding sincerity. Justice Hima Kohli stressed on responsible conduct, cautioning against disparaging other medical systems.
Justice Hima Kohli further went on to question “Whether the apology was published on the main page? Was it published in the same font and size as your earlier advertisements?”
Responding to this, Adv Mukul Rohathi appearing for Patanjali said that they would publish a bigger apology in the newspapers.
The matter originated from a petition filed by the Indian Medical Association, alleging Patanjali of engaging in a smear campaign against modern medicine and Covid-19 vaccines. Previous apologies by Ramdev and Balkrishna were deemed insincere by the court, prompting the demand for a public apology. Patanjali Ayurved, headquartered in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, reiterates its commitment to rectifying the mistake and ensuring future compliance, while upholding the dignity of the Supreme Court and the constitution.
