After massive outrage on social media, the Ministry of AYUSH pulled down the promotional video for International Yoga Day featuring actress Kareena Kapoor Khan.
The video was published on June 16.
BJP leader Kapil Mishra wrote on microblogging platform Twitter, “Seriously @moayush
Is this a reward for this ?”
The picture of Kareena Kapoor Khan which she had posted immediately after the Kathua case had also gone viral.
The placard read she was ashamed to be an Indian.
A twitter user, @BefittingFacts, tweeted, “Conduct proper ideological background
@moayush @KirenRijiju so desperate that tagging a fan account of Kareena Khan?”
A twitter user, @oldschool monk, tweeted, “Not surprising that Ayush Ministry is posting Kareena’s video on World Yoga Day. Minister sahab himself is highly “Secular””
The netizens were angry that one who had taken up many acts to defame the country had been used to promote Yoga.
Since it was included in the United Nations, International Yoga Day is celebrated every year on June 21.
