Karimnagar: Doctors associated with the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Karimnagar chapter, and Telangana private hospitals and nursing homes association have decided to observe ‘Black Day’ on Friday in protest against yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s remarks against allopathic medicine.
All the private hospitals, clinics and nursing homes will be closed for out-patient treatment from 8 am to 12 noon. However, they will attend to emergency cases.
The doctors will wear black badges throughout the day as a mark of protest against the remarks made by Baba Ramdev on allopathic medicine and also to condemn attacks on the medical fraternity.
They will also submit petitions to Ministers, MPs, MLAs and Collector to lodge their protest against the yoga guru and condemning the attacks on hospitals and doctors.
Disclosing this to newsmen here on Thursday, IMA district president M Vasantha Rao, THANA state vice president Ravi Kumar, IMA leader Shesha Shailaja and Sridhar Chitla slammed Baba Ramdev for terming allopathy as ‘stupid’ medicine.
Alleging that the yoga guru was doing crores of business by luring the people, they clarified that they were not against the Ayurveda medicine, but against Ramdev Baba and his comments on allopathic treatment.
