We will do whatever it takes to save Ramdev: Uttarakhand chief minister

As yoga guru Ramdev's fast enters the eighth day, Uttarakhand chief minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank today said the state government would do whatever is required to save him.

Talking to reporters after visiting Ramdev at the Himalayan Institute at Jolly Grant near here, Nishank criticised the Centre for forcibly removing him from Ramlila ground and sending him back to Uttarakhand.

He added that the Centre did not take his consent before sending the guru here.

However, Nishank said Ramdev's life is precious and whatever is required, will be done to save his life.
