New Delhi/Dehradun, June 10 (ANI): With Baba Ramdev being hospitalized at Dehradun's Jolly Grant Hospital following a deterioration in his health, the civil society activists and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) mounted pressure on the Central Government to initiate talks with the yoga guru on humanitarian grounds.
Gandhian Anna Hazare appealed to the Central Government to initiate talks with Ramdev on humanitarian ground, and ask him to end his seven-day long fast.
Meanwhile, the BJP criticizing the Central Government for its indifference asked it to act on the yoga guru's demands.
"The government must set its ego aside and act on Baba Ramdev's demands," said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad.
The fasting yoga guru was shifted on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance in his Patanjali Yogpeeth and taken out of Haridwar.
Doctors attending to Baba Ramdev had earlier advised that the yoga guru should be immediately hospitalised and treated in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Releasing Ramdev's health bulletin, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Yogesh Sharma said that if Baba did not break his fast he may suffer irreversible damage to his body.
"We have advised him to get hospitalised as we have observed that his kidney functions at a low level as albumin has been detected in his urine," Sharma said, adding, "We examined Baba. His condition is fast deteriorating and is worrying."
Ramdev's pulse rate was as low as 98/min and his blood pressure had dipped to 104/70.
Despite spiritual leaders trying to convince the yoga guru to call off his fast, Ramdev remained firm about continuing with it till his demands were not met.
Some 'sant samaj' members visited Ramdev on Thursday and asked him to call off his fast.
Ramdev has been on a hunger strike against corruption along with 65,000 followers when the police on the government's orders dismantled the elaborate camp late on Saturday night that had been set up at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. (ANI)
