Following India’s newly appointed Prime Minister Narendra Modi repeatedly calling for greater use of India’s health remedies and exercises, India set up a ministry that aims at promoting alternative therapies such as yoga and traditional Indian ayurveda medicine.
The new “Yoga Minister” is Shripad Naik, who took charge of the newly created Ministry.
“This is our system and it has not received enough prominence. We will take it to the masses,” Shripad Naik said.
Commenting on the news, one Moroccan sarcastically said the following:
“This is amazing. I think Morocco should go for a Ministry of Chikhats or a Ministry of Issaoua. Probably only then we can appoint Benkirane as the Head of that Ministry. No, I am only being sarcastic. I think Benkirane is doing averagely good given the current circumstances.”
