=== Ramdev's comments against modern medicine ===
In May 2021, [[Ramdev#Comments%20against%20modern%20medicine|Ramdev sparked controversy]] when he spoke against modern medical science in the context of [[COVID-19 pandemic in India]]. The [[Indian Medical Association]] (IMA) objected to his comments. On 22 May, the IMA's Uttarakhand division sent a defamation notice of {{INRConvert|1000|c|year=2021}}.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-05-26|title='Criminal act': Ramdev gets ₹1,000 cr defamation notice from IMA Uttarakhand|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/criminal-act-ramdev-gets-rs-1-000-cr-defamation-notice-from-ima-uttarakhand-101622014713092.html|access-date=2021-05-26|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=IMA Uttarakhand sends Rs 1,000-cr defamation notice to Ramdev over remarks on allopathy|url=https://www.businesstoday.in/current/economy-politics/ima-uttarakhand-sends-rs-1000-cr-defamation-notice-to-ramdev-over-remarks-on-allopathy/story/440033.html|access-date=2021-05-26|website=www.businesstoday.in}}</ref> On 27 May, Patanjali Yogpeeth confirmed that it had received the defamation notice from IMA demanding an apology from Ramdev over his remarks.

It said it "cannot allow anyone to disparage, neglect and demean the great knowledge and science of rishis and scriptures".<ref>{{Cite news|date=27 May 2021|title=Patanjali says 'received' legal notice from IMA, will give 'befitting reply'|work=Live Mint|url=https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/patanjali-says-received-legal-notice-from-ima-will-give-befitting-reply-11622135617381.html|url-status=live|access-date=31 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210531123240/https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/patanjali-says-received-legal-notice-from-ima-will-give-befitting-reply-11622135617381.html|archive-date=31 May 2021}}</ref>
