Ramdev's health deteriorates, declares raising of force

Baba Ramdev, who has been on fast-unto-death since June 4, has been advised by doctors to give up his fast in the wake of his deteriorating health. However the yoga still stood firm on his fight against corruption and announced today in Haridwar that he would set up a 11,000-strong force to deal with police and anti-social elements attempting to disrupt his anti-corruption movement. Ramdev also threatened the government with dire consequences if they took action against his supporters.
