Netizens react with memes after AYUSH Ministry stops Patanjali's 'coronil' ads

After the AYUSH ministry on Tuesday (June 23) directed to stop yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali firm from advertising its latest product ‘Coronil’, which claims to cure COVID-19, and asked to furnish proof of the claim, social media was flooded with hilarious memes ridiculing the development.

Post the product’s launch, the AYUSH ministry and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) said that they were not involved or aware of any medical trials carried out by Patanjali. They also mentioned that the company has not disclosed any details of the two-stage clinical trial which they claimed to have conducted.
