Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs & Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday said yoga is “the golden key” to good health and that some “ignorant people” were linking it with religion.
Naqvi, who participated in the first ‘’International Yoga Day’’ at Faridabad along with thousands of people, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose commitment has led to respect for yoga in the entire world.
He said that some ignorant people are linking yoga with religion.
Naqvi said that even United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said yoga does not discriminate, and all people can practice yoga.
“International Yoga Day has increased the prestige of India and Prime Minister Shri Modi should be congratulated for this”, he said.
