After the beef ban in a few BJP ruled states (with hints of others following soon!) and Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s egg ban in the mid day meals in MP, it’s Yogi Adityanath’s do Suryanamaskar or drown gaffe that is inviting ire.

Controversy’s favorite child self anointed ‘Love Jihadi’, BJP Member of Parliament, Yogi Adityanath has woken up from the ‘Ghar Wapsi’ side of the bed. He is in one of his ‘lets send Azam Khan to Pakistan’ moods again. His latest gaffe:

Those who oppose Suryanamaskar should drown

Reports suggest that the government has decided to drop Suryanamaskar from International Yoga Day celebrations on June 21. Angry Adityanath thus wants those who don’t follow suryanamaskar to ‘live in a dark room’.

But obviously, Twitterati is having a field day.

While all and sundry are courting controversy over Yoga Day, how can the Yogi stay far away?
