  • The multi-exercise combination (MEC-7) fitness programme has triggered a political row in Kerala as BJP and CPI(M) have alleged the involvement of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) and Jamaat-e-Islami in promoting the workout plan.

The article discusses a 21-minute fitness program in Kerala, India, which has been linked to the Islamist organization Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI). This program, known as "Fit for Life," was launched by JEI's youth wing, the Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO), aiming to promote physical fitness among the youth. The initiative has sparked controversy due to its association with JEI, which has been accused by some of having extremist leanings, although the organization itself claims to promote social welfare and community development. Critics argue that the fitness program might be a front for spreading the group's ideology, while supporters see it as a positive step towards health and community engagement. The program includes exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, and running, designed to be completed in 21 minutes, and has been promoted through various social media platforms and community gatherings.
