MUMBAI: Baba Ramdev today took a shot at the government for imposing high tax on telecasting devotional TV channels.

The Patanjali founder said that "it would be really shameful, if we would have to give money even in the name of faith and I never expected such kind of behaviour from this government."

"The government was demanding 1 lakh rupees from all us. To which, we said that please don't impose tax on sadhus and saints. You are religious people, you love your country, you follow religion but we hope to get free from it, because then if people want to hear or see any baba's discourse live, baba would have to give One Lakh Rupees per day from his own pocket. A baba can't afford so much of money. The government wants Rs 32 crore in total to show all the channels like Aastha and Vedic," he added.
