Plot to kill me: Ramdev

HARIDWAR: Angry at the disruption of his fast, Baba Ramdev on Sunday lashed out at the government and targeted Sonia Gandhi over the “police barbarism” on his supporters while threatening a nationwide agitation.

Terming the police action on women and children at the Ramlila ground as a “blot to democracy”, he claimed that there was a conspiracy by the Centre to get him killed and a threat was issued to him during a meeting with senior ministers. Ramdev, who was bundled out of Delhi, said he will resume his agitation against corruption in Haridwar from Monday after being denied entry in Uttar Pradesh. "No one should violate law and so I am not going to Delhi. I was not allowed to reach Noida in UP to continue the protest,” he said. Ramdev said if the rulers of the country were honest enough, then there was no need for him or social activist Hazare to hit the streets to protest against corruption.

The yoga guru said he would like to join Hazare on Wednesday for the hunger strike announced by the Gandhian to protest police action against his followers.
