“दुष्प्रचार करने वालों कुछ तो शर्म करो !
यह बहन, जिसका नाम प्रीती है, आयु 27 वर्ष है, cancer से पीड़ित है, जीवन और मौत के बीच संघर्ष कर रही है |
पतंजलि योगपीठ के फाउंडर मेंबर के परिवार की इस बहन को वेदांता अस्पताल में मिलकर आशीर्वाद दिया, प्राणायाम सिखाया और आयुर्वेदिक औषधियां दीं ।
ऐसे रोगियों के बारें में दुष्प्रचार करने वालों कुछ तो शर्म करो । यदि ये महिला आपकी माँ, बहन, बेटी होती तो क्या आप ऐसे ही भद्दे कमेंट्स करते
– स्वामी रामदेव” the text read.
This proves that the implications in the viral post is fake.
