Resident doctors at several Delhi hospitals launched a protest as part of a nationwide stir on Tuesday against Ramdev's remarks on allopathy. Banded under the Federation of Resident Doctors Associations, the doctors wore black armbands, ribbons and held up placards.

"Ramdev is not qualified to even speak on the discipline of allopathy. It had affected the morale of doctors, who are fighting day in and day out in the pandemic. We demand an unconditional public apology or action against him under the Epidemic Diseases Act," a senior association official said.
