Plant Manager at Patanjali, SB Singh in an interview with the New York Times has said that people in Assam have bad habits like eating non-vegetarian foods.
They also quoted him saying, "We are mentally conditioning them."
The comment has stirred massive controversy among the people of Assam.
The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) has demanded an apology from Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved after the company’s manager said the people of the state have “bad habits” and the company was “mentally conditioning them”.
Several senior members at the political party have said that the statement made was absolutely rubbish and that it can portray a very wrong image of Assam among the global audience.
Earlier, Patanjali had faced opposition from environmentalists for damaging elephant corridors in Assam.
