Ramadoss gets Ramdev boost in fight for good health
Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has just won a famous friend in his battle against alcohol, tobacco and junk food. Yoga and lifestyle guru Swami Ramdev, who commands a huge following across the country, has offered to help the Union Health Ministry to get the masses off unhealthy addictions.
"We've been in touch and we'll work together," Ramadoss told HT.
Winning support for his clean lifestyle initiative from people other than public health experts is a first for Ramadoss. He has a track record of antagonising many famous people, from Shah Rukh Khan for smoking in public to Vijay Mallya for naming his IPL team after an alcohol brand.
Ramadoss and Ramdev now appear to have patched up differences over the curative powers of yoga for AIDS. "Even when I criticised yoga for treating AIDS because of lack of scientific proof, I maintained that Swami Ramdev was doing a public service by promoting this ancient exercise form," said Ramadoss. "Prevention is better than cure and if a healthy lifestyle that includes yoga can reduce the risk of dis- ease and early death, I'm all tor it."
