Republic Bharat on Friday deleted a Twitter poll after getting an unfavourable outcome. Twitter users mocked the channel's founder Arnab Goswami after the poll was deleted.

"Maharashtra government wants to stop Arnab Goswami from asking questions. Are you with Arnab in the pursuit of truth?" the poll asked.

In early polling, most Twitter users seemed to have chosen 'Yes' option. But as it progressed, the result of the poll started tilting towards 'No'.

By the time the poll was deleted, it showed that 53% users had said 'No' with rest of the users option for 'Yes'.

While many of neutral Twitter users may have chosen to vote 'No' in the poll, #TeamBaan, a Twitter Army of users, also directed its resourced in the raiding of the poll.

Rofl Gandhi, the putative leader of the Twitter army, had called his followers to vote in the poll.

"So @Republic_Bharat deleted their poll when it became evident to them that #teambaan is surging ahead," he said, adding hashtag #BhagodaRepublic.

Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.

AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.

“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.

He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.

“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.

According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.

In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.

AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
