Chandigarh: Haryana’s Health and Sports Minister Anil Vij yesterday said that all those opposing yoga were “traitors”, and the mouths of such traitors should be “kept shut”.
In a post on microblogging website Twitter, the Hindutva leader said: “Yoga is an ancient wisdom through which India has been recognised throughout the world. Those opposing it are traitors. Their mouths should be kept shut”.
[ प्राचीन विधा योग से हिन्दुस्तान को सारे विश्व में पहचान मिली है। जो लोग इसका विरोध कर रहे हैं वह देशद्रोही हैं। उनको मुह बंद रखना चाहिए। ]
“Yoga means to unite. Those who want to split, they will never accept it,” reads English translation of another tweet by Anil Vij (@anilvijmantri).
[ योग का अर्थ होता है जोड़ना जिनका काम है तोड़ना वह इसे कभी स्वीकार नहों कर सकते। ]
The tweets came in the wake of the latest controversy over some religious and political leaders accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party of using yoga to promote Hindutva.
