School in Karnataka makes students reenact Babri demolition; video draws outrage

Tribune Web Desk
Chandigarh, December 16

An undated video doing the rounds on social media showing students reenacting the Babri Masjid demolition of 1992 has drawn outrage on social media.

In the undated video, children go tearing towards an image of Babri Masjid amid chants of “Bolo Sri Ramachandra ki Jai”, “Bolo Jai Bajrang Bali Ki” and “Bolo Bharat Mata Ki”, as the commentator eggs them on in Kannada, and then shred the photo.

News reports say the students belonged to Sri Rama Vidyakendra High School, believed to be owned by an RSS functionary in Karnataka’s  Kalladka.

RSS netas run schools to systematically spread hatred & poison in young minds. This enactment of Babri demolition happened in Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat’s school in Karnataka. #BharatJalaoParty #BJPBurningBharat #RSSMuktBharat#BJPHataoDeshBachao
