The AYUSH Ministry rejected as “fabricated and mischievous misinformation” a purported RTI reply that had claimed that the government does not recruit Muslims in the ministry as a policy.
The Ministry condemned the “misreporting” which it claimed was aimed at causing “chasm” between different sections of society and promoting disharmony and mistrust with ulterior motives.
“The Ministry of AYUSH has noted with anguish certain mischievous misinformation being spread in certain section of media and social media quoting a reply to an RTI by mentioning a fabricated draft as Annexure I to that letter, which has never been issued by the Ministry of AYUSH or any of its agencies.
“The Ministry strongly condemns this piece of misreporting, clearly aimed at causing chasm between different sections of society and promoting disharmony and mistrust with ulterior motives,” the Ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry’s response came in response to a series of RTI applications by a journalist who had sought the number of Muslim yoga teachers and trainers hired for foreign assignments during the first World Yoga Day on June 21 last year.
