Union Minister of State for IT and Communications Gurudas Kamat is set to release a commemorative postal stamp on Baba Ramdevs Patanjali Yogapeeth on Tuesday,coinciding with the birthday of Ramdevs close associate Acharya Balkrishan.

The proposal to release a stamp on Patanjali is old. It was on my flight back to Delhi from Mussoorie last month that Baba Ramdev reminded me about it again, Kamat told The Indian Express.

The decision to release the stamp is seen as a move by the Congress to mend fences with Ramdev as Leader of opposition in the Uttarakhand Assembly,Harak Singh Rawat had earlier accused him of doing the politics of a particular party read BJP.

Ramdev is doing the politics of a particular political party. He should go ahead and join that party, Rawat alleged on July 11. Ramdevs associates denied the charge and the BJP sought a public apology from the Congress.

When asked about Rawats allegation against Ramdev,Kamat said,As regards the views expressed by the Congress leader,the party gives this much space to its members to express their individual views.
