The Centre has asked the Uttarakhand government
to “enquire” into the issues surrounding Patanjali Ayurveda’s controversial
‘Putrajeevak Vati’ medicine, the Rajya Sabha was told.
Minister of State for Health Faggan Singh Kulaste
said in a written reply to a question that “the Ministry of AYUSH has requested
the government of Uttarakhand to enquire into the matter and send a report.”
The reply comes after an inquiry committee set up
by the Uttarakhand government to examine the controversial medicine produced by
Ramdev’s pharmacy submitted its report.
The report is said to be “not in favour” of the
yoga guru.
Kulaste said the Uttarakhand government is yet to
submit its report to the Centre.
The state government had formed the three-member
committee last year to probe ‘Putrajeevak Vati’, an ayurvedic medicine which
allegedly promises a male child.
Reports said the product courted controversy when
Rajya Sabha MPs led by JD(U)’s K C Tyagi demanded a ban on it and sought stringent
action against the manufacturer.
