AHMEDABAD: A PIL has been filed in Gujarat high court seeking a ban on the sale of shilajeet, a product claimed to enhance sexual prowess, by Yoga guru Baba Ramdev 's Patanjali brand.Petitioner Aditya Rawal of a little-known outfit, Vishwa Hindustani Sangathan , has filed the PIL taking exception on the ground that selling a product like shilajeet under the brand name of Patanjali, who is a very revered saint of Hindus, hurts religious sentiments.Rawal's advocate S R Yadav said that Rishi Patanjali has a very high status in the Hindu traditions and he is believed to be an incarnation of mythical serpent Ananta.It is not proper to associate the sale of a product like shilajeet with Rishi Patanjali.The PIL was filed last month, but the court asked the petitioner to supply requisite documents with the petition by November 16. The hearing on this plea is therefore expected to take place later this month.Ramdev's Patanjali sells shilajeet capsules that consist of extracts of shilajeet supposed to be one of the best natural anti-aging products and an aid to increase immunity.The product's website also claims, "Patanjali shilajeet capsule is useful for sexual dysfunctions in men. It helps in boosting sexual stamina in men...Patanjali shilajeet capsule is a natural aphrodisiac and helps to enhance the quality and quantity of sperms."Rawal had filed a PIL earlier this year seeking ban on release of Salman Khan-starrer Sultan by citing his objectionable rape remark.In another case related to products used for enhancing sexual performance for men, a consumer court last year had ordered Navsari's Health & Ayurved Research Charitable Trust to refund fees to a customer, who later complained that the medicine was ineffective.The consumer court had also asked the trust to give compensation for mental and physical agony caused to the customer.In yet another case from south Gujarat, two directors of Umbergaon-based Elicon Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd, which produced and sold a medicine in the name of shilajeet were convicted and punished.This was after the Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) did not find shilajeet in the product during its testing.
