Ramdev also said he was against any personal attacks on anyone, though he asserted he would continue to support the Anna Hazare movement.
"President is a Constitutional post. One should not criticise those who occupy Constitutional posts. Even Anna Hazare agrees with this," Ramdev told reporters at Ramlila Maidan, where he would launch his agitation against blackmoney from August 9.
"The person who is sitting at the highest office of Constitution, one should not make comment about him...In present circumstances, one should not name Pranab Mukherjee. Whatever is there, can be seen after five years," he said.
Ramdev said he spoke to Hazare on the issue and the latter had told him that he has congratulated Mukherjee on becoming President.
On July 25, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal had said, "If Lokpal was there, Mukherjee would not have been the President. The Constitution provides immunity to President from any investigation. Now Congress has put a 'chadar' (veil) of constitution on the President."
The yoga guru said his agitation against blackmoney will begin as scheduled on August 9 and he would fight till the end.
