Pune University confers Baba Ramdev with honorary doctorate degree

Pune, Apr 11 (ANI): Yoga guru, Baba Ramdev was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the Dr D Y Patil Deemed University in Pune.

On the occasion, Baba Ramdev criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) and foreign pharmaceutical companies, and urged doctors and scientist to set up their own health organization.

"The swine flu case was a propaganda. I was very unhappy when I came to know that the WHO is acting as an agent for pharmaceutical companies. I think a new initiative should be taken, a new WHO should be established in India. Indian doctors and scientists should work on it," said Baba Ramdev.
