Aastha Channel: Yog
guru Ramdev is purportedly inspired by the people of Egypt who have ousted 2
heads of state successfully. He’s in awe of their protests which is independent
of the type of government. In a prime time episode hosted by Aastha Channel,
Baba Ramdev shares his views on everything other than yoga.
“The people of Egypt have had successful protests despite
the form of government. Be it dictatorship or democracy they’ve successfully
ousted the incumbent government and paved the way for a new one. Contrary to
popular belief, this has nothing to do with the people of Egypt but has
everything to do with their ‘bhoomi’
i.e. Tahrir Square. There is a power (Shakti)
in that area that enables successful protests.
Since indefinite fasts and neck turning yoga- asanas have been unsuccessful in persuading the government to
pass the “jan-lokpal bill”, I will discuss with team Anna to rename Jantar
Mantar to Tahrir Square. If I cannot do Shirsasan (a form of yoga where the
yogi is upside down) in Tahrir square, Cairo, I shall do it here in Tahrir
square, New Delhi!”
This has raised significant alarm amongst the government who
fear International attention at the name Tahrir. BJP is pleased that Ramlila
Maidan is not being renamed. Sources close to the BJP say “As long as there are
no absurd suggestions to rename a place named after Jai Shri Ram to anything
Islamic we have no qualms”.
