JAMMU: Appealing to the residents of Jammu & Kashmir to devote time towards holistic fitness to mark the occasion of International Yoga Day, BJP J&K President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, along with BJP J&K General Secretary and former Deputy Mayor Jammu Baldev Singh Billawaria, participated in a yoga programme organized by the Dogra Seva Sambhal Trust at Gangyal, Jammu. BJP District President Naresh Singh Jasrotia was also present and joined the yoga exercises along with other participants.

Sat Sharma, addressing on the occasion, said that Yoga is not merely a physical exercise but a complete way of life that promotes harmony between the body, mind, and soul. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Yoga has gained global recognition and has become a symbol of India’s ancient wisdom and cultural heritage.

Yoga helps create disciplined individuals who contribute positively to nation-building,” he said.
