The sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) continues to inspire many people to remain steadfast in the pursuit of truth and justice. It is also a reminder of the enduring power of courage and conviction.

[Kiren Rijiju @KirenRijiju]

کربلا کی یاد سچائی، انصاف اور بے لوث قربانی کی ایک لازوال مثال ہے۔
#محرم کے اس مقدس مہینے میں، دعاء ہے کہ کربلا کا یہ پیغام ہمارے دلوں میں ہمدردی پیدا کرے، ہمارے ایمان کو مضبوط بنائے، اور ہماری زندگیوں میں امن ، امید اور باہمی سمجھ بوجھ کا باعث بنے۔

The remembrance of Karbala stands as a timeless reminder of truth, justice and selfless sacrifice.

On #Muharram, may its message inspire kindness, strengthen our faith and bring peace, hope and understanding into our lives.

I would like to express gratitude to my sisters and brothers of Kolkata for being such outstanding hosts for this year’s Yoga Day programme. It is an honour to mark it in this vibrant city.

In the run-up to Yoga Day, there were cleanliness drives across the city, which were also very inspiring. The people of Kolkata have given a big message on performing the duties of a citizen.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Here are some more glimpses from the Yoga Day programme held in Kolkata.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

An exceptional Yoga Day programme was held at Kolkata’s Red Road this morning, in which people from all walks of life participated, giving an important message on the vitality of Yoga in everyone’s lives.

This time, the theme was ‘Yoga For Healthy Ageing’ which emphasised the importance of Yoga in all ages to remain fit and healthy.

Yoga connects us all and brings us together.
