On 3rd February 2021, Swedish school dropout and alleged ‘climate activist’ accidentally shared a ‘tool kit’ that revealed a sinister plan to run a global propaganda against India. The toolkit had called for breaking the ‘Yoga’ and ‘Chai’ image of India. The activities of the Congress party suggest that they have been been playing by this toolkit in order bring disrepute to India and its traditional knowledge practices. Congress party leaders used the occasion to undermine Yoga and in an attempt to attack Prime Minister Modi, and also to dissociate it with Hinduism.
The Congress party and its eternal youth leader Rahul Gandhi took to playing politics on International Yoga Day 2021. He sent out a tweet in a feeble attempt to attack the BJP and PM Modi in the name of International Yoga Day. In a tweet, Gandhi said, “It’s #YogaDay Not #HideBehindYogaDay.”

Not #HideBehindYogaDay
National Herald, the official Congress newspaper, carried an article titled, “YOGA is just an exercise, was a Western fad, is not an extension of Hinduism and should be optional.” This article published by the mouth piece of Congress made blatant attempts to disassociate Yoga and Hinduism.
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi has posted a controversial tweet where he said, “Neither Yoga will become more powerful by chanting Om, nor will the power of Yoga be reduced by saying, Allah,”.
ॐ के उच्चारण से ना तो योग ज्यादा शक्तिशाली हो जाएगा और ना अल्लाह कहने से योग की शक्ति कम होगी | #YogaDay2021 #InternationalDayOfYoga

In February 2021, just weeks after the Greta Thunberg’s toolkit expose, the Congress MP posted a tweet mocking Yoga filled with sexual innuendos while trying to criticize the Modi government.

From the looks of it, it appears that the Congress party is voluntarily or involuntarily playing by Greta Thunbeerg’s toolkit which was a ready reckoner on how to make the ‘farmer protest’ in India receive a wider audience thereby making it a global conspiracy to defame India.
