Udhampur, Jun 21: Describing “Operation Sindoor” as a shining example of that control, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that Indian Armed Forces displayed restraint, balance, and precision during the operation, which is a reflection of their inner strength attained by practising Yoga.
On the occasion of the International Yoga Day, Singh, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), led a mass Yoga demonstration at Northern Command headquarters here, performing various asanas and breathing exercises with 2,500 soldiers.
Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command Lieutenant General Pratik Sharma, and other officers also joined the event.
Reiterating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that ‘Yoga is India’s gift to the world’, Singh said it is not just a diplomatic quote, but a vision. “Through Yoga, India has given the world a tool which is beyond any border, religion, and culture,” he said, pointing out that the theme of International Day of Yoga each year sends a global message that India thinks not only for itself, but for the welfare of the world.
