**New Delhi:** Yoga guru Baba Ramdev is facing criticism from the Delhi High Court over comments he made promoting his Patanjali Gulab Sharbat. The court expressed strong disapproval of Ramdev’s remarks, which were perceived as targeting Hamdard’s Rooh Afza, a popular beverage.
During the launch of his rose syrup earlier this month, Ramdev allegedly implied that money earned from competitors’ sales was being used to fund madrasas and mosques, while purchasing his product would instead support gurukuls and Indian education. While he did not explicitly name Hamdard, his comments were widely interpreted as a veiled attack.
The Delhi High Court described Ramdev’s statements as “shocking” and “unjustified,” highlighting its deep concern over the remarks. Hamdard subsequently approached the court, leading to the strong rebuke. The court’s reaction underscores the serious implications of such statements and the potential for inciting religious disharmony.
