People staged a protest here against yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday over his remark on Dalits involving Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

They raised anti-Ramdev slogans and displayed demeaning posters of him.

Baba Ramdev has claimed that Rahul Gandhi goes to the houses of Dalits for picnics and honeymoon.

"The mother (Sonia Gandhi) wants that he (Rahul Gandhi) should become prime minister first and then marry a foreign girl. This boy doesn't want to marry a native girl. However, he likes going to Dalit (lowest caste people) houses for picnics and honeymoon. If he had married a Dalit girl, she too would have become rich," said Baba Ramdev.
