On the occasion of the 9th International Yoga Day, some passengers in Mumbai local trains were seen doing yoga inside the coaches on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many comments started coming on the video where one user said such yoga will not help in improving the health of the people. Another user said this hypocrisy by the BJP government at the Centre was shocking as Muslims were reprimanded for praying in public areas. Another user was surprised to see so much space in the Mumbai local trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WATCH<\/a> | Passengers perform Yoga inside a Mumbai local train<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/9thInternationalYogaDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#9thInternationalYogaDay<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3JdL38EK64\">pic.twitter.com\/3JdL38EK64<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ANI (@ANI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ANI\/status\/1671415972396437504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One user wondered if yoga was so helpful, why were patients of diabetes and heart ailments increasing? &nbsp;Another man said the whole act was staged. Another user said it was being done to catch the other people\u2019s attention. Some others said the video was fake. One user said it was all a cheap publicity stunt.
