Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will meet yoga guru Baba Ramdev in Haridwar and persuade him to end his fast because of his deteriorating heath condition, an official said on Friday.

The spiritual guru, who is reaching Haridwar to perform the last rites of his father, will meet Ramdev, whose fast against corruption entered the seventh day on Friday. “Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is going to Haridwar for his pitaji’s Asthi Visarjan. He will also meet Baba Ramdev and persuade Baba to drop the fast as Baba’s health is deteriorating,” said a communiqué issued here.

It is not clear whether the spiritual leader would meet Ramdev on Friday or Saturday, said an official. Ramdev’s health condition has considerably deteriorated and he took lemonade and honey at the request of doctors on Thursday. He has lost more then two kg of weight since on Saturday when he went on fast against corruption.
