Haridwar, June 20

Yoga is an ancient health practice, honed by seers for centuries, which every Indian is proud of. One should not dwell into any sort of controversy by linking it with any religion, or for that matter, country.

This was stated by former Mizoram and Uttarakhand Governor Dr Aziz Qureshi here today on his visit to Haridwar.

“Please don’t give it any colour of politics or religion. Yoga has immense benefits, both mentally and physically. Everyone should practice yoga: It would make the society and globe a much better place, with ailments taking a backseat,” asserted Dr Aziz Qureshi. — TNS
