At the National Institute of Medical Science University (NIMS) in Jaipur, Baba Ramdev on Wednesday claimed to have tried the drug on corona victims, Dr. BS Tomar, the chairman of the same university, said on Thursday night that no medicine in his hospital The trial has not taken place. On the other hand, the Rajasthan government has told health officials that Patanjali’s coronil medicine should not be sold in the state
In a statement, Dr. Tomar said that such a thing happened in Baba Ramdev, which is claiming clinical trial in Nims hospital. Baba Ramdev has given a wrong statement. He said that we used Ashwagandha, Giloy and Tulsi as immunity boosters. This was only to increase immunity, no treatment drugs. He said that I do not know how Baba Ramdev has claimed 100 percent cure. Nims had no association with Baba Ramdev in making medicine. It is worth mentioning that Tomar along with Baba Ramdev had claimed to the Coronil drug of Corona before the media on Wednesday. Now, perhaps due to the increasing pressure and controversy of the Rajasthan government, Tomar took a U-turn. After Tomar’s statement, an attempt was made to contact him, but could not be reached.
