Baba Ramdev hospitalised, given glucose

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev was carried out of his ashram in Haridwar on a stretcher this afternoon after doctors attending to him said his liver had been affected and his blood pressure was worryingly low because of his seven-day hunger strike. He was given glucose in an ambulance en route to a Dehradun hospital. After a few hours, doctors said he appeared stronger. Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravishankar who visited him in hospital said he had urged Baba Ramdev to start eating solids tomorrow.
