The Lal Thanhawla led Congress government in Mizoram did not organise any official function to observe the International Yoga Day today, officials said.
An official statement narrated about the valedictory function of the Healthy Mizoram Campaign but did not mention yoga.
Reports said that the Yoga day functions was observed in the headquarters of the central para-military forces here.
The powerful church, the civil societies and the student bodies of the state had earlier objected to the observance of the International Yoga Day expressing suspicion that Yoga is a part of 'Hindu ritual' and should not be practised by Christians.
The People's Rights to Identity and Status of Mizoram (PRISM) party today flayed the 'forcible' practice of Yoga by the state police.
