Throwing his weight behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative to organize International Yoga Day on June 21 he said that it was a good initiative and no one should have any objection to it. “Those raising objections do not know importance of Yoga. It is a mental and physical exercise which keeps one healthy. Yoga has nothing to do with religion. Those people who are looking at the Yoga through the prism of religion are doing dis-service to the society,” he said.
He did not name any Muslim organization but said that people of all caste and creed should take part in this international event which has an approval of United Nations.

Thus, slowly they were known as dalits,” he said.
