Attempting to pacify the uproar sparked by his recent statements, Baba Ramdev, the yoga guru and founder of Patanjali, provided a clarification on Saturday in response to a video circulating on the social media platform X. The contentious remarks, uttered during a public appearance, ignited anger and prompted calls for a boycott of Patanjali, the FMCG company headquartered in Haridwar and co-founded by Ramdev in 2006. The phrase that he allegedly said referencing the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) stirred controversy, with social media users deeming it offensive to this community.
