The CPI (M) on Tuesday demanded that Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi be removed from her post for attending the ‘Kreedotsav’, the sports festival at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) backed Sri Rama Vidya kendra High School that made students reenact the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

CPI (M) politburo member Brinda Karat told reporters, “After the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya verdict in which the apex court said the Babri demolition was a grossly illegal act, for Kiran Bedi to attend such a function in a school run by the RSS is outrageous and atrocious.”

“She has no right to remain in post of governor and should be dismissed forthwith”, Karat added.

Kiran Bedi had attended the event along with Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda. Gowda has claimed that he was not present at the event when the play was being performed. Bedi had tweeted about the event with a video showing the kids come together in the formation of a Ram temple.

Yesterday, the police had booked four people including Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, the Chairman of the school, the President, Convenor and a member of the school under Sections 295A and 298 of the Indian Penal Code for engaging in deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings and wound the religious feelings of any person.

The demolition of the Babri Masjid, that was held to be a criminal act by the Supreme Court, was reenacted by the students of the school. They were shown to be building a huge Ram temple after the demolition.

Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat is an RSS strongman and south-central region’s executive committee member. He has been booked for being a repeat hate speech offender and has gone on record to say that he doesn’t agree with the decision of the court (that the demolition was a criminal act) and that there was nothing wrong in showcasing what was a ‘historical event’.

The Karnataka police have booked four persons in light of the news of the Babri Masjid demolition reenactment by students at the Sri Rama Vidyakendra High School run by RSS strongman Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat.  In the play enacted yesterday, the school children recreated the tearing down of the 16th century Babri mosque and replacing it with a Ram temple. Bhat maintained that the play was an enactment of the ‘injustices’ in the country.

In response to an FIR registered based on a complaint by Aboobacker Siddiqui an activist with the Popular Front of India (PFI), Prabhakar Bhat, as well as Narayana Somaiyyaji, Vasant Madhav and Chinnappa Kotiyan have been charged under Sections 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings) and 298 (uttering words, etc with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person) of the IPC by the Bantwal Town police.

Narayana Somayaji is the President of the Sri Rama Vidyakendra Governing Council, Vasant Madhav is the Convenor and Chinnappa Kotiyan is the member of the same.

The Babri Masjid demolition has been held as a criminal act by the Supreme Court. Yesterday at the ‘Kreedotsav’ a sports event at the school, the students dressed in white and saffron clothes waving the ‘bhagwa dhwaj’ were made to reenact the demolition of the Babri Masjid, among chants of ‘Bolo Shri Ramchandra Ki Jai.’

When he was contacted by reporters for a clarification by reporters, the RSS’ south-central region’s executive committee member Bhat said that he did not agree with the Supreme Court’s decision and that there was nothing in showcasing what he thought was a historical event.

Kiran Bedi and DV Sadananda Gowda along with other ministers had attended the event. While DV Sadananda Gowda claimed that he wasn’t there at the time the play was on, Kiran Bedi had tweeted about the play and said that the students of the school must be given a place in the Republic Day parade as well.
