After the Maharashtra State Women’s Commission sent a notice demanding clarification about his comments, Yoga guru Ramdev has apologised for his objectionable remarks against women
“The Commission had sent a notice to Baba Ramdev demanding explanation on his objectionable remarks against women. He has replied to us, apologising for the remarks,” said Women’s Commission chairperson Rupali Chakankar.
Ramdev, in his apology said that he had no intention of insulting women at the programme in Thane, where he had made the comment. The programme held was about women empowerment.
The Yoga guru said that one clip of a few seconds, out of the entire one-hour speech, is being highlighted on social media and that his words are being misconstrued.
“I celebrated the power of mother in my one-hour speech and my mention of the clothes was in reference to simple clothes like mine. However, I am extremely sorry if my words have hurt the feelings of anyone. I apologise to all those who are hurt by my words,” he said.
At the event in Thane, Ramdev had said, “Women look good in sarees, women look good in salwar suits too, and in my eyes, they look good even if they wear nothing.”
