UNITED NATIONS - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi led a celebration of International Yoga Day at the United Nations in New York on Wednesday and called on people “to join hands together to realize the goal of one earth, one family, one future”.
“Let us use the power of yoga, not only to be healthy, happy, but also to be kind to ourselves and to each other,” Mr Modi told a gathering of yoga devotees seated on yellow mats on the north lawn of UN headquarters by New York’s East River. Mr Modi has been to the United States five times since becoming prime minister in 2014, but the trip will be, despite concerns over what is seen as a deteriorating human rights situation under his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
