Union home minister Amit Shah had tweeted: "Congress stands for negativity. Today, their negativity was seen in their clear support to the medieval practice of Triple Talaq. Now, they mock Yoga Day and insult our forces (yet again!). Hoping the spirit of positivity will prevail. It can help overcome toughest challenges."
