Big news is coming from the headquarters of Patanjali in Haridwar. Amid a row with the Supreme Court, Patanjali has launched its latest product: Ayurvedic Masks. Instead of running ads for this product, which has backfired for Patanjali in the past, Baba Ramdev will wear a mask of Prashant Bhushan to secure the Supreme Court’s pardon at just ₹1, proving the mask’s effectiveness.
The Supreme Court has rejected Patanjali’s unconditional apology in the case of misleading ads. The same Supreme Court let Supreme Court lawyer and one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party, Prashant Bhushan, off the hook with a mere fine of ₹1 when he accused the Supreme Court of destroying India’s democracy and criticized the Chief Justice of India. When asked why, the Supreme Court said: ‘Employee Discount.’
Speaking to The Fauxy, a Supreme Court lawyer shed light on the matter and told us, ‘Judges are sitting in rooms surrounded by colors like black and white, their eyes have grown accustomed to it. So when they saw Baba Ramdev in saffron clothes, it irritated their eyes. If Ramdev wanted his apology accepted, he should’ve worn some neutral color.’
Currently, the whole team of The Fauxy is in line to get those masks. Just in case the Supreme Court issues a contempt notice against us because we cannot afford to pay more than ₹1. We need those masks, the tagline for which is reportedly going to be ‘Masks so strong and real, even the Supreme Court can’t rip them apart’.
