New Delhi:
A man threw black ink at yoga guru Baba Ramdev while he was
addressing journalists here Saturday. His furious supporters
assaulted the man till he bled from his mouth.
"What have I done to deserve this?" said a nonplussed Ramdev, who
was speaking on black money and corruption when the stranger
decided to target him at the Constitution Club.
In no time, the offender was caught and roughed up by Ramdev's
supporters. He was repeatedly hit on the head and slapped even as
a lone uniformed policeman and some security personnel tried to
take him away from the mob.
The man's upper clothes were ripped. In no time, he bled from the
mouth.
Ramdev said that he had asked for black money stashed by Indians
abroad to be returned to the country. But instead "I got black
ink", he said.
"Those who fight for truth have to pay the price. We are fighting
to get black money back to the country? Instead I got black ink...
What did I do to deserve this?"
He added that the incident won't affect his campaign against
corruption.
Some Ramdev supporters immediately raised anti-Congress slogans at
the site. Congress spokesperson Rashid Ali denied the party was
involved. The Bharatiya Janata Party said the attack should be
probed.
