Haridwar: With the government toughening its stand against Baba Ramdev, the yoga guru today said he forgave the Prime Minister for the crackdown on his agitation but history will not forgive him for the "political sin" he committed. "The Prime Minister termed it (the police action) unfortunate. In a way he has accepted his sin. Since he has accepted his sin, I have forgiven him," Ramdev told reporters here. "I have personally forgiven him but the history of not only India but the whole world will never forgive him for the political sin he committed. He has tainted democracy," Ramdev, who is continuing his satyagraha here, said. The yoga guru was reacting to Singh's remarks yesterday that "it was unfortunate that the operation had to be conducted but quite honestly, there was no alternative.
