Puttur: College students perform Babri Masjid demolition skit on annual day, no action yet
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.

This incident echoes a similar occurrence at an educational institution associated with RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat. A case was registered following a complaint filed at the Bantwal city police station when a mock performance of the Babri Masjid demolition was staged during the annual sports day at Shri Ram School in Kalladka.
During the performance at Shri Ram School, students fervently tore down a replica of the Babri Masjid while chanting slogans such as "Jai Shri Ram" and "Bharat Mata ki Jai." Abubakar Siddique of the PFI organization lodged a complaint at the Bantwal police station after the video of the reenactment went viral.
Four individuals, including RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, were named in the case.

8-month-old diagnosed with HMPV Virus in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: An 8-month-old infant in Bengaluru has been confirmed to have contracted the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV). However, health authorities have assured that there is no need for panic.
HMPV is common in India, but it remains unclear if this case is linked to the mutated variant detected in China. The infant, with no travel history, was admitted to a private hospital for fever, where tests confirmed the presence of the virus.
Authorities are collecting data to assess if similar cases are present in other parts of the state. The Director of Health Services, Dr Atul Goel, recently stated that there is no significant increase in respiratory cases as per December 2024 data.
HMPV, first identified in 2001, is known to cause respiratory illnesses, particularly in children, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems. While there is no specific antiviral treatment for HMPV, precautionary measures like isolating symptomatic individuals and practising good hygiene can help curb its spread.
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, through the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), is monitoring respiratory cases across the country in collaboration with international agencies.
