A fresh political tussle has erupted in West Bengal over making yoga mandatory in schools and colleges. BJP leader Agnimitra Paul backed compulsory daily yoga, along with teachings like the Gayatri Mantra, saying the proposal would be raised with the Chief Minister. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury hit back, stressing yoga is an Indian tradition but must remain voluntary, adding that forcing children to practice it is inappropriate.
