Rampur: Senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan yesterday asked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath if he would "prefer to offer namaz", as he had earlier said it was similar to surya namaskar.
Reacting to Adityanath's remark that the prayers offered by Muslims resemble different postures of surya namaskar, Khan said, "He would have been handcuffed had he made such comments."
"Since you find similarities between surya namaskar and namaz, will you prefer to offer namaz?" he asked the chief minister.
The SP general secretary said he cannot comprehend how the prayers offered by Muslims were similar to the sun salutation and questioned Adityanath's intention behind the comment. Khan said no one would "restrain Adityanath from offering namaz".
The UP Chief Minister had on Wednesday said, "All asanas (postures) in surya namaskar, pranayama activities are similar to the way namaz is offered by our Muslim brothers. But nobody ever tried to bring them together because few people were interested only in 'bhoga' not yoga."
