Patna: On the occasion of the 11th International Day of Yoga, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) held a yoga session at its Bihar state office on Wheeler Road here, celebrating the day with party leaders and supporters. Union Minister and party president Chirag Paswan conveyed his message of gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving yoga a global platform.
In a statement, Chirag credited the Prime Minister’s “visionary leadership” for the widespread global adoption of yoga. “It is because of your foresight and efficient leadership that yoga has gained international recognition. June 21 is now celebrated across the world as International Yoga Day,” he said.
Referring to Modi’s 2014 address at the United Nations General Assembly, where the Prime Minister proposed the idea of International Yoga Day, Chirag remarked that the initiative had become an enduring global movement. “What you introduced as a path to human welfare has now become a part of the daily routine for millions. Yoga is not only a symbol of India’s cultural legacy but also a means of bringing peace, health, and balance into people’s lives,” his statement read.
The programme in Patna was attended by several senior leaders of the party, including state vice-president Ashraf Ansari, Sanjay Singh, state youth wing president Ved Prakash Pandey, women’s cell president Shobha Singha Paswan, and the party’s chief spokesperson Dr Rajesh Bhatt, who also addressed the media.
