Probe Ordered After Video Shows Schoolkids Reciting 'Inappropriate' Prayer
A video from a school in India showed kids singing a song during their morning assembly that some people found concerning.
The song had lyrics about using blood and bullets.
Because of this video, a social activist complained to the school officials.
The education department is now investigating what happened.
They’ve formed a special team to look into the matter and have also stopped the teacher’s pay until they finish their investigation.
They want to make sure that what children are taught in school is appropriate and safe for them.
An inquiry has been ordered by the Jammu and Kashmir education department following a video showing students reciting an 'inappropriate' prayer.
The prayer, sung at Government Middle School Sichal, included the phrase: 'Khoon se tilak karo, goliyon se aarti' (Mark your forehead with blood and use bullets for worship).
A social activist filed a complaint, expressing concern over the psychological impact of such violent and extremist teachings on minors.
A three-member inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the incident and submit a report within two days.
The salary of the teacher allegedly conducting the assembly has been withheld pending the outcome of the investigation.
