Naik was appointed Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, on 9 November 2014.[6][7] On 25 March 2016, Naik publicly stated he had access to research which proved that diseases such as cancer could be cured by yoga.[8] He further stated that his Ministry was a year away from granting an endorsement to such techniques and research.[9][10] The statement was challenged by medical researchers, scholars and doctors, who advocated caution in claiming a cure to cancer on the basis of unproven and unpublished research with no scientific evidence.[11]
