Ramdev welcome to Uttarakhand, can continue his protest: CM

Strongly backing Baba Ramdev's "peaceful" agitation against corruption, Uttarakhand chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal today assured the yoga guru of "full security" if he decides to continue his protest in the state.

"If he (Ramdev) wants to continue his agitation and protest in Uttarakhand, then he has full freedom to do it," Pokhriyal said, hours after Delhi police disrupted the fast at Ramlila Maidan.

"What was wrong with Baba's peaceful agitation? Why did the government get scared? If baba comes to Uttarakhand, we will give him full security."

Since there is a danger to Ramdev's life, the Uttarakhand government will provide full security to him.

"Our government has always been against corruption," he said.
