Refuting all allegations that his trusts have gone against the rule of law in managing the inflow of foreign exchange, Baba Ramdev on Saturday accused the government of unnecessarily dragging him to such things just to pressurise him to stop his campaign against corruption.
The Yoga Guru on Saturday termed the reported notice to him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as a deliberate attempt by the government to defame him to stop his campaign against corruption and black money.
The ED has reportedly registered a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) case against the two trusts of Ramdev: Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust and the Divya Yoga Mandir Trust. Refuting all these, Ramdev said that his trusts had not indulged in any illegal or unconstitutional acts.
"The money received by both my trust has been within the rules of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA)," he added, while addressing media persons in New Delhi.
As per reports, the Directorate has found evidence of Ramdev and his trusts receiving financial aid from other countries. The investigation is aimed at checking the flow of money and transactions through various trusts.
Ramdev's castle on Scotland's the Little Cumbrae Island, which works as Yoga and Ayurveda wellness centre, is also under the scanner of the ED.
On the Lokpal issue, the Yoga Guru also accused the government of cheating Anna Hazare by pointing out that the parliamentary resolution has not accepted the three core demands [inclusion of prime minister, higher judiciary and conduct of MPs in parliament under the ambit of Lokpal] of Anna.
Meanwhile, the government has sent notice to Ramdev asking him to submit details about foreigner’s stay in his ashram in Haridwar. It is alleged that some foreigners have been residing at his Patanjali Yogpeeth ashram and no information has been provide regarding this to the local police.
