If I've black money, make it national property: Ramdev

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who fasted earlier this month against mounting corruption in the country, said here Sunday that if any black money was found with him, it could be declared national property.

"If the government finds any black money with me, they can declare it national property ," Ramdev said while addressing a press conference in the capital.

Weeks after he was forced to quit Delhi, Baba Ramdev returned here Sunday to meet Raj Bala, 51, who is at the G.B. Pant Hospital since suffering spinal injuries in a police crackdown on the yoga guru post midnight June 4.

"Behen Raj Bala is in very critical condition. Only a miracle can save her once the ventilator is removed," he said.

"This government is not only corrupt but also cruel. If I had not asked the people to stay calm, there would have been a pool of dead bodies," he added.

Delhi Police broke up his fast against corruption and black money stashed abroad at the Ramlila ground here, dispersing thousands of men and women using force and tear gas. Many suffered injuries. Raj Bala was one of them.

He was asked to leave Delhi and banned from entering the city for 15 days. Ramdev continued his fast in Haridwar and Dehradun till June 12.

After being evicted, Ramdev to be back in Delhi

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who was forcibly evicted from Delhi’s famous Ramlila Maidan after sitting on a fast-unto-death against black money, is returning to the national capital on Sunday.

Ramdev, whom the government had barred from entering the national capital for 15 days, will be here to meet Raj Bala, a supporter of the yoga guru who got injured during the police action against fasting Ramdev and his thousands of supporters earlier this month.

The condition of 51-year-old Raj Bala, who is undergoing treatment at the GB Pant Hospital here, is still critical.

Raj Bala, a resident of Gurgaon, had undergone surgery on June 05 for cervical spinal injuries. According to doctors, the neurological status of Raj Bala remains unchanged and she is a quadriplegic (paralysis caused by illness or injury).

While officially it is being said that Ramdev is coming to Delhi to see his ailing supporter, sources say the yoga guru is travelling to the capital to give the Central government a message, that he might be down but not out.
