The incident of a teacher directing other children to thrash their classmate on the basis of his religious identity in Uttar Pradesh is a “disturbing result of the hate-filled politics of the BJP-RSS,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said on August 26.
Condemning the incident, Mr. Kharge said such incidents tarnished the country’s global image, and are against the Constitution.
On Friday, a video in which a woman teacher in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district asked students in her class to slap another student on the basis of his religious identity was widely shared on social media. The U.P. Police have confirmed that the controversial video is from a school in Khubbapur village.
