‘Owaisi not OBC’: Baba Ramdev on viral video of him featuring outraging remarks against community

IndiaTimes Saturday, 13 January 2024
Attempting to pacify the uproar sparked by his recent statements, Baba Ramdev, the yoga guru and founder of Patanjali, provided a clarification on Saturday in response to a video circulating on the social media platform X. The contentious remarks, uttered during a public appearance, ignited anger and prompted calls for a boycott of Patanjali, the FMCG company headquartered in Haridwar and co-founded by Ramdev in 2006. The phrase that he allegedly said referencing the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) stirred controversy, with social media users deeming it offensive to this community.
