Puttur: A video depicting students at Vivekananda College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous) in Puttur reenacting the 'Babri Masjid demolition' during their annual day event has been circulating widely on Instagram. The viral clip, which has since been removed, attracted numerous comments, including some expressing support for the act with phrases like "Jai Sriram."

In the video, student participants are seen wearing RSS shorts, saffron attire, and portraying scenes reminiscent of both the Ram Mandir and a mosque, as reported by nanugauri.com. The controversial clip allegedly depicted the Muslim rulers destroying the temple, with RSS workers sacrificing their lives to protect it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's character performing Homa Havan was also part of the skit.

According to nanugauri.com, no action has been taken against this portrayal, which is seen as propagating communal hatred among young minds. Local website 'Puttur suddiNews.com' confirmed that the college annual day event took place recently.
