Massive support for Yoga icon Baba Ramdev at Berhampur

BERHAMPUR: A massive dharna was organised here by the Bharat Swabhiman and the Patanjali Yoga Trust (PYT) of Ganjam on Saturday urging the Union Government to accept the demand of Baba Ramdev. Hundreds of men and women from different walks of life participated in the dharna and demanded that the Union Government accept the demand of Ramdev to recover black money from the foreign banks and take other measures to check corruption and improve the living condition of the Indian farmers. Apart from the members of the Bharat Swabhiman and the PYT, those of the Berhampur Nagarik Manch, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and the Viswa Hindu Parishad participated in the dharna, which will continue till the Government accepts the demand, said veteran leader and former Deputy Speaker of the State Assembly Ramachandra Panda.
Meanwhile, Baba Ramdev began his hunger strike at the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on Saturday describing his fast as "a satyagraha against corruption." The yoga guru had earlier said he will start a ‘satyagraha’ against corruption and black money and go on an indefinite fast from June 4, demanding that the government bring back black money stashed in tax havens abroad. “My hunger strike will go ahead. There is no question of calling off the protest plan till my demands are met and till talks reach a satisfactory conclusion,” Baba Ramdev said. In his focus on corruption as India's Enemy No 1, the Baba has provoked the interest of the millions of people across India who usually attend his mass-yoga classes.

  1. This act is against democracy structure of india,this act is repetition of 1919 jalianwalan incidence made by English govt.nothing new. Nobody can raise hand against the honesty and integrity of Baba Ramdev,he has changed life style of common people and included common person in making of helathy functioning of govt. It is high time to be united against corruption and spread this movement through the country, so do every effort what one can do to carry this great country forward in positive direction.

  2. Now it is proved that Baba Ramdev and BJP are true protectors of democracy. BY the brutal action on Swamy Ramdev's Satyagrahis and other workers of BJP in the late midnight the Congress has unveiled its real colours and Sonia Gandhi has proved that she is really a videshin. The arrogancy of congress ministers was also exposed. Now the common people have to give the fitting reply to the most corrupt party of India.
