New Delhi [India] : Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge held “hate-filled politics of the BJP-RSS” responsible while reacting to an incident seen in an undated purported viral video where a private school school teacher in Muzaffarnagar was instructing children in her class to slap their classmate.
The viral video goes on to show children taking turns striking the crying minority student with the teacher looking on. The video sparked outrage online after it was circulated. Taking to the social media platform X Kharge said, “The manner in which a teacher get a child thrashed by other children on the basis of religious discrimination at a school in UP is a disturbing result of the hate-filled politics of the BJP-RSS.”
Kharge also alleged such incidents were tarnishing country's image globally. “Such incidents tarnish our global image. This is against the constitution,” said Kharge in his post. “The poison of the divisive thinking of the ruling party has spread so much in the society that one hand an educator, Tripta Tyagi, teaching religious hatred to children since childhood, while an RPF jawan, Chetan Kumar, whose work is to provide security, is killing innocent people in the name of religion,” added Kharge in his post.
