"Yoga Originated In Nepal, Not India": Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli

International Yoga Day: KP Sharma Oli said Yoga originated in Nepal, not in India. At the time when Yoga came into existence, there was no existence of India; it was divided into factions.

Nepal caretaker Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Monday claimed that Yoga originated in Nepal, adding that India wasn't around when Yoga started in the world. "Yoga originated in Nepal, not in India. At the time when Yoga came into existence, there was no existence of India; it was divided into factions," caretaker Prime Minister Oli said. Mr Oli made the statement while addressing a program held at his residence Baluwatar on the occasion of International Yoga Day. Mr Oli also claimed that Indian experts have been hiding facts about it. "India that exists now wasn't there in the past. India at that time was divided into different factions," caretaker PM Oli said. "Divided into factions, India at that time was like a continent or sub-continent," he added.
