    What's the story

    Over a month after the Supreme Court ended the decades-old Ayodhya land dispute case, a school in Karnataka staged a play that re-enacted the 1992 demolition of Babri Masjid.

    After taking down the make-believe monument while chanting 'Shree Ram Chandra Ki Jai' and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', the students proceeded to stand in formation depicting a Ram Mandir.

    Here are more details.

    Authorities' response

    School defends move; says simply depicted historical events

    Meanwhile, school President, Satish Bhat Shivagiri, defended the performance saying there was nothing communal about the event as they were only depicting the developments of the Babri Masjid demolition.

    RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, who owns the school, told TNM that they were depicting "historical events."

    Bhat added that Babri Masjid was "not a mosque." He said, "It was just a building."

    Quote

    SC said Babri demolition was wrong; we disagree: Bhat

    Bhat went on to say, "Even though the Supreme Court has said that what happened in Babri was wrong, we have questioned that part of the judgment itself. We cannot accept everything that is said in the judgment. I don't agree with it."

    Gowda’s response

    Wasn't there when play was enacted: Gowda

    When asked about his stand on the communally-charged play, Union Minister Sadananda Gowda said he arrived late and must have missed the play.

    He said, "I don't know. I was not there when the play was enacted. I arrived at the school only at 7:30 pm and I think it was over by then. I have to know more about this before commenting."
