Yoga not of any religion, says Khader

KOZHIKODE: People who are ignorant about yoga and Indian culture are opposing it, opined Muslim League leader and MLA K.N.A. Khader. He was addressing a gathering during the International Yoga Day celebrations at Veda Vyasa Vidya Niketan School in Malappuram on Sunday. He said yoga training should be made mandatory in all schools. “Yoga is not the asset of any religion, political party or organisation,” he said.
