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 on Friday, but he refused to call off his fast.
"Swamiji was taken to the Intensive Care Unit of the Jolly Grant Hospital due to low pulse rate and dehydration on the Chief Medical Officer's advice," Baba Ramdev's spokesperson S.K. Tijarawala said in a statement.We appeal for peace and prayers. Technically, the fast is on. He is determined to continue the fast," he added.
Baba Ramdev was taken on an ambulance from his ashram in Haridwar this afternoon after his health deteriorated rapidly.
Doctors attending to Baba Ramdev at his Patanjali Yogpeeth had earlier advised that the yoga guru should be immediately hospitalized and treated in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Releasing Baba Ramdev's health bulletin, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Yogesh Sharma had said that if Baba did not break his fast he may suffer irreversible damage to his body.
"We have advised him to get hospitalized as we have observed that his kidney functions at a low level as albumin has been detected in his urine," Dr. Sharma had said, adding that "we examined Baba. His condition is fast deteriorating and is worrying."
Baba 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, Baba Ramdev had remained firm about continuing with it till his demands were met.
The Yoga guru has been on a hunger strike against corruption along with 65,000 followers when the Delhi Police on the Central government's orders dismantled the elaborate camp late on Saturday night that had been set up at New Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. (ANI)
