The two boys – Ishaq (10) and Deepak (11) – were dancing to a song in praise of Jesus Christ when some people from the crowd allegedly stepped onto the stage and demanded that they stop the performance. The Jhabua district education department has sought a detailed report into the disruption of the Christian dance performance by right-wing activists at a government school in Madrani village earlier this week.
As reported by hindustantimes.com, a school official said, “The right-wing activists said songs and dances in praise of Jesus could prompt those in the audience to convert to Christianity. We stopped the performance to prevent any untoward incident.The boys were sent home before things could get chaotic.”
Although the incident occurred on Monday, the authorities caught wind of the issue only after a video clip of the alleged attack went viral four days later. The persecutions against Christians in the state are increasing day by day which should be considered as a violation of the law and also a threat to ‘the right to freedom and religion’.
