Ramdev, in a press conference which turned unique, made a statement on the uproar created in the Parliament over his 'Putrajeevak Beej' medicine.


Ramdev took the meaning of a press conference to an entirely new level.[/caption]He further said that the name of the medicine will not be changed in the future. "If a lot of misconceptions are spread about the medicine, we will add a disclaimer to the medicine that it has nothing to do with getting a boy or a girl child," he said."I have always respected women," Ramdev said.Ramdev also slammed JD(U) leader KC Tyagi and actor Jaya Bachchan for making statements against him. "JD(U)'s KC Tyagi should apologise for his remarks...Jaya Bachchan should know more about the issue before making a statement," he said.KC Tyagi reacted to Ramdev's statement and said he will not apologise. "Why should I apologise to Ramdev? I still stand by my statements. Whether he changes his name or not, I will not stop protesting," he told Times Now.On Ramdev's allegation that PM Modi's was being maligned, Tyagi said, "I never even mentioned PM Modi in my statements. In fact, I had praised PM Modi for improving the sex ratio in Haryana. Ramdev is causing harm to that good work."Ramdev also said that instead of focussing on the issue of his medicine, the media needed to pay attention to the work done by him in Nepal. "I took responsiblity of 500 to 1000 children in Nepal. Why isn't the media reporting that?" he said.The entire controversy began on Thursday when a demand to ban a purported ayurveda product by yoga guru Ramdev's Divya Pharmacy that promises a male child was made in Rajya Sabha, with Opposition members terming it as illegal and unconstitutional and seeking stringent action against the manufacturers.When the House met for the day on Thursday, KC Tyagi showed a a packet called 'Putrajeevak Beej', which he claimed to have bought from Divya Pharmacy that promised the delivery of a male child.He also displayed a copy of the purchase receipt dated 14 April and said sale of such products by "the Brand Ambassador of Haryana" was illegal and unconstitutional.Without naming the yoga guru, he asked "if the Government of India under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi approves of this."Amid protests from treasury benches, Jaya Bachchan (SP) took the packet and gave it to Health Minister JP Nadda.Javed Akhtar also asked saracastically will the government inquire whether it is illegal to determine sex.Several opposition members joined in condemning sale of such products and demanded action.Deputy Chairman PJ Kurien said sex selection by a medicine or even pre-natal sex determination was against the law and the Constitution, but the Chair cannot do anything about it.With Opposition members pressing for stringent action, Nadda said the issue is related to the Department of Aayush. "The Government will look into it and proper action will be taken."(With inputs from PTI)
