Ramdev's health deteriorates; doctors advise him to break fast
From Ashwini Shrivastava
Haridwar, June 8 (PTI) Indian Yoga guru Baba Ramdev's
health has started deteriorating as his fast for tougher
anti-graft laws and bringing back blackmoney from foreign
nations, entered fifth day here in the northern Indian state
Uttarakhand Wednesday.
Doctors attending to the yoga guru have advised liquid
intake and requested him to end his fast soon.
"His health is going down. He has lost weight and is
suffering from dehydration. He is not keeping well," Chief
Medical Officer, Haridwar Dr Yogesh Sharma said briefing
mediapersons about Ramdev's regular check ups.
Sharma said, "We have requested that he should take
liquid intake like milk and juices. It will be better if he
ends his fast."
The yoga guru, along with hundreds of his disciples,
is observing a fast from June 4 at Patanjali Yogapeeth, around
20 kms from here, to press for his demands of bringing back
black money from foreign nations, tougher anti-graft laws and
to uproot corruption from the country.
Earlier in the day, Ramdev did not show any sign of
relentlessness and said that his fast will continue till
Centre accepts all his demands.
"My fast is on along with thousands of my followers in
each and every part of this country. People in 624 districts
are on fast," he said.
He said, "I request children, old age people not to
participate in the fast. Others should join this movement like
many of their brethren."
Scores of Ramdev supporters are also participating in
a day-long sit-in by social activist Anna Hazare demanding a
strong anti-corruption Lokpal bill in New Delhi Wednesday.
Ramdev's followers continue to pour in from all over
the country, raising anti-graft slogans, chanting holy songs
and listening to sermons being given by religious leaders at
the huge 'yagya shala' inside the Yogapeeth.
"We are with Baba till he ends his fast. There are
many others who are also fasting along with him," said Lokesh,
who has come from Haldwani near here to participate in the
campaign.
