I Will declare my assets today: Baba Ramdev

Jun 9, 2011

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has said that he will declare his assets on Thursday evening, after allegations of running a huge empire of Rs 1100 crore.

Ramdev has been accused of grabbing fertile farmland. Local residents including farmers launched a signature campaign against Baba Ramdev, and the Haridwar DM report says no land has been allotted to the baba, a defence that Ramdev had been citing.

Over 200 businesses from broadcasting companies including Aastha TV to food parks are run by his trusted lieutenants Acharya Balkrishna and Mukta Anand, according to reports. There are no specific charges against them that the finance ministry is looking at but a detailed income tax survey is currently being done.

Even Hindu spiritual leaders want Ramdev's assets probed.

Baba Ramdev has also been accused of stamp duty evasion. Ramdev owes the exchequer Rs 58 lakh, says the Haridwar SDM, in not one or two, but a total of 16 orders. In fact he had ordered attachment proceedings in August last year.

Ramdev's aide Balkrishna is also under scrutiny. The Uttarakhand Intelligence Bureau confirmed that Balkrishna, the right hand man of yoga guru Baba Ramdev may have violated the Arms Act. The Prime Minister's office has ordered a probe in the case.

Balkrishna is a citizen of Nepal, but he claimed he was born in Haridwar. His passport number A S 245797 from the Bareilly passport office needs to be investigated under the Passport Act, says the report to the State Police Chief.

Ramdev, however, said that he has always supported law in the country and have never spoken about breaking the law.

He also said that there are many things he has to do before he breaks his fast against corruption and black money. "Till the time my goal is not achieved, I will continue the fast. Whether I live or die, I will support the cause," Ramdev said.

Doctors advised liquid intake to Ramdev and requested him to end his fast soon after health started deteriorating as his fast for tougher anti-graft laws and bringing back black money from foreign nations, continued in Haridwar.

    ''Vinaashakaale vipareethabudhi'. This Sanskrit saying means that at a period of (self)destruction one's intelligence will work in the wrong direction. Baba Ramdev is beyond doubt a man of wisdom. But, due to reasons known only to him the control of mind which is the product of yoga he has been preaching and practicing through all these years, seems eluded him. He seems to have forgotten the lesions of patience and Raga-Dweshas. Now he is led by personal vendetta and hunger for fame. These all are quite contrary to the basics of the ancient science namely Pathanjali Marg he has been conveying to us. Out of sheer anger people lose their common sense. What an erratic idea is that to form an army of his own to fight against the national evils! This is what the Naxalites and other extremists do. Babaji's army will not withstand the troops a few minutes. The ultimate result will be blood-shed and catastrophe, and thereby the focus of the world's attention will get shifted away from the real agonies the nation faces in the form of corruption, black money, terrorism, black marketing, illiteracy, misgoverning, and what not. So, Babaji should make a rethinking so that he can stop the present one man show, and join the move led by Anna Hasare for saving the hapless millions of poor people of India.
