GUWAHATI, June 15 � Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi observed that Yoga has been practised by people for hundreds of years now, for a healthy and productive life. He said that yoga should be made more scientific and research-oriented and imparted under the guidance of well-trained instructors.
In a statement, Gogoi said that the present controversy regarding yoga has arisen because there is an element of compulsion, mixed with religion and politics which is really uncalled for.
