Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has requested the Uttarakhand government to provide him with Z-plus security considering his vulnerability to attacks from his opponents.
"Baba Ramdev has been exposing the intentions of MNCs in the field of health and beverages, launching a tirade against corruption and establishing Indian tradition and culture. So, he has become a target of his opponents," general secretary of Ramdev's Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth Acharya Balkrishna said.
Since he also floated a political party 'Bharat Swabhiman Trust' and has announced to contest the next general elections, the number of opponents who may harm him have increased, he said.
Balkrishna said he has recently sent a letter to the Uttarakhand government asking for providing 'Z-plus level' security to the yoga guru.
Currently, Ramdev has been given Y-level security.
