SC issues contempt notice to Patanjali over ‘misleading advertisements’
The SupremeCourt today came down heavily on the Centre for not taking any action in a case of “misleading and false” advertisements by the Patanjaliu Ayurved – which is co-owned by yoga guru Ramdev.
“The government is sitting with its eye closed,” the Supreme Court said.
The Supreme Court said that the entire country is being misled through such advertisements. “This is very unfortunate. The government will have to take some immediate action,” the bench said.
Notably, the Supreme Court had in November last year cautioned Patanjali Ayurved against making “false” and “misleading” claims in advertisements about its medicines as a cure for several diseases.
