Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday led the celebrations of International Yoga Day at Vishakhapatnam.
PM Narendra Modi said, 'In the last one decade, when I see the journey of Yoga, it reminds me of many things. The day India put forth a resolution in the UNGA – to recognise June 21 as International Yoga Day- and in a very short time, 175 countries of the world stood with our country. This unity and support in today's world is not a normal incident.'

Tharoor praises PM: Shashi calls Modi 'prime asset'; hails his 'energy, dynamism and willingness to engage'
Shashi Tharoor with PM Modi. (IANS photo) NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi , saying his energy, dynamism and willingness to engage remains a 'prime asset' for India globally. These remarks could strain his relationship with Congress party leadership. Tharoor made these comments in an article in the Hindu and it comes at a time when Congress has been critical of PM Modi government's foreign policy decisions. The party has alleged that Indian diplomacy is being 'shattered' and the country stands 'isolated' globally. Tharoor's supportive stance towards the PM appears to conflict with his party's position, potentially widening existing rifts between him and Congress leadership. Tharoor acknowledged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vigour and diplomatic engagement remain valuable for India internationally, though requiring additional support. These comments, made on Monday, might create tension within his party and further strain his relationship with its leadership. The timing of Tharoor's commendation is notable, as it comes when the Congress has consistently criticised the Modi government's foreign policy, claiming that Indian diplomacy is deteriorating and the nation faces international isolation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 40세 미만이라면 이 매혹적인 게임을 하지 마세요 경복의 바다 게임 플레이 Undo In his article, Tharoor highlighted that the diplomatic efforts following 'Operation Sindoor' demonstrated national unity and successful communication.

Prahlad Joshi slams Tejashwi Yadav for his remarks against PM Modi
Patna: Union Minister Prahlad Joshi on Monday criticised Bihar Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him "baseless" and "irresponsible." Joshi was speaking to the media after inaugurating a steel grain silo in Pasraha, Gogri block of Khagaria district. The facility, with a storage capacity of 50,000 metric tonnes, aims to strengthen food security infrastructure in the region. The inauguration event was also attended by Bihar Minister Lesy Singh and local MP Rajesh Kumar. Responding to Tejashwi Yadav's recent jibe in which he had labelled PM Modi as a 'liar', 'pickpocket', and 'big artist', Joshi said: 'How can someone who has lying embedded in his DNA accuse the Prime Minister of lying? It is the Modi government that has actually delivered on the promises made to the poor.' He further asserted that poverty in India has significantly reduced under PM Modi's leadership, citing World Bank data. 'From the Nehru era to Rahul Gandhi, Congress only gave slogans like 'Garibi Hatao'. But under PM Modi, the percentage of people living below the poverty line has dropped from 25 per cent to 5 per cent,' he said. Tejashwi Yadav had also criticised the Prime Minister's recent rally in Siwan, alleging misuse of public funds. 'PM Modi has conducted more than 200 rallies in Bihar since 2014, each costing around Rs 100 crore. It's all coming from taxpayers' money,' Tejashwi claimed in his earlier remarks. 'We do not want a pickpocket Prime Minister. The Prime Minister gives speeches written on a teleprompter. He has no real understanding of Bihar's ground situation,' Yadav earlier said on June 20. Joshi rejected this allegation, emphasising that public outreach is part of democratic accountability and that such claims were politically motivated.
