New Delhi, June 6 (PTI) Supporting the government's action against Ramdev, Puri Shankaracharya Adhokshajanand Dev today blamed the yoga guru for all the trouble and said he should give up the saffron robe.
"Ramdev is responsible for all the disturbances. He hid the truth from his followers (about the deal struck with the government). He should apologise to them...He was misusing the saffron cloth for some years now. What happened (forceful eviction from New Delhi) is fine. He should not wear the saffron robe," he said.
He also accused Ramdev of having commercial interests in mind and said the yoga guru resorted to actions which were against the basic tenets of a saint.
"People who become gurus should give up commercial activities...Gurus and saints lead a life of renunciation and work for the welfare of others.
