The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Tuesday protested against the Centre's order to organise a week-long yoga Surya Namaskar session in all schools across the country.

Calling the move unconstitutional, the board also accused the government of deviating from the principle of secularism and trying to endorse the ideology and tradition of the majority community.

The Ministry of AYUSH on January 3 launched a 75 crore Surya Namaskar Initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle through the practice of yoga.
