Ramdev Sits on Dharna against Balkrishna arrest
New Delhi: Hours after the arrest of his close aide Balkrishna, Yoga guru Ramdev on Friday staged a dharna against Congress led UPA Government. He alleged that the government was taking such steps to scare him and break his resolve in the fight for bringing back black money stashed abroad.
“Acharya Balkrishna is not a terrorist or a criminal, rather he has honestly worked for the welfare of crores of people through his knowledge on Ayurveda. We are standing by him on moral grounds,” Ramdev told reporters here at Lachhiwala area where he was stopped by the police.
Later, Ramdev sat on a dharna in front of the CBI office here to protest against the arrest of Balkrishna.
He criticized the centre for misusing their investigative agencies for harassing people, who dedicated their lives for the sake of people.
“The centre is using the CBI as its puppet.” By doing so, the government thinks that it can break my resolve and scare people who are protesting. Let the government do whatever they want, I will not leave the path of truth,” Ramdev said in a statement.
