New Delhi: Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi said on Friday that he had a problem with yoga guru Baba Ramdev`s contention that he had a drug that guarantees the birth of a male child. He said he would not have had a problem had Ramdev said that he had a drug to produce children of any gender.
Lauding the NDA government`s `Beti Bachao Beti Padhao` campaign, Tyagi said, "I praise the Prime Minister`s efforts, but on the other hand, this medicine by Baba Ramdev is called `Putrajeevak Beej` and I have a problem with that."
"Had the medicine been called `santaanjeevak beej` I would have had no problem," he added.
On Thursday, there was uproar in the Rajya Sabha during Zero Hour over the medicine being marketed by Baba Ramdev`s company.
The opposition called the medicine `illegal` and `unconstitutional`.
The Patanjali Yogapeeth and the Divya Yog Mandir had said in a statement that their medicine had nothing to do with sex determination.
