Dehradun, June 10 (ANI): Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who has been hospitalized at Dehradun's Jolly Grant Hospital following a deterioration in his health, was administered glucose by the doctors that ended his seven-day long fast against black money and corruption.
Ramdev was taken on an ambulance from his ashram in Haridwar this afternoon after his health deteriorated rapidly.
So far, the yoga guru remained adamant saying he will not end his fast till all the demands are met.
Meanwhile, activist Swami Agnivesh met with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi today to discuss the Ramdev issue.
According to reports, Mukherjee is expected to brief the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, on the matter in the next few hours.
Doctors attending to Baba Ramdev at his Patanjali Yogpeeth had earlier advised that the yoga guru should be immediately hospitalised and treated in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Releasing Ramdev's health bulletin, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Yogesh Sharma said that if Baba did not break his fast he may suffer irreversible damage to his body.
"We have advised him to get hospitalised as we have observed that his kidney functions at a low level as albumin has been detected in his urine," Sharma said, adding, "We examined Baba. His condition is fast deteriorating and is worrying."
Ramdev's pulse rate was as low as 98/min and his blood pressure had dipped to 104/70.
Despite spiritual leaders trying to convince the yoga guru to call off his fast, Ramdev remained firm about continuing with it till his demands were not met.
Some 'sant samaj' members visited Ramdev on Thursday and asked him to call off his fast.
Ramdev has been on a hunger strike against corruption along with 65,000 followers when the police on the government's orders dismantled the elaborate camp late on Saturday night that had been set up at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. (ANI)
