Students of Sri Rama Vidyakendra High School, located in Dakshina Kannada in Karnataka, re-enacted the demolition of Babri Masjid to the chants of Shri Ramachandra ki jai, at a school event on Sunday. The school is owned by Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, an RSS leader.

A video of the reenactment, in which hundreds of school children participated, has gone viral. In attendance at the event were Puducherry Governor Kiran Bedi, Union minister Sadananda Gowda and several state ministers.

In the video, students, dressed in white and saffron, were seen rushing to a huge poster of Babri Masjid and bringing it down even as a narrator is heard saying on the loudspeaker, "They demolish the structure with anything they could get, with the enthusiasm of and wrath of Hanuman, they bring down the structure. Bolo Shri Ramachandra ki jai.”

According to The News Minute, when Prabhakar Bhat was asked about why such an event was held in the school despite the Supreme Court observation that the demolition of the masjid was wrong, he said he does not agree with the apex court verdict. "We cannot accept everything that is said in the judgment. I don't agree with it," he was quoted as saying.

Further, he said there was nothing wrong with the re-enactment as he considers the demolition of the structure as a historical event. "The play was done to show historical events and what is the problem with it? Our temple was destroyed and then the structure was built. We have said Babri structure. It was not a masjid," The News Minute quoted him as saying.
