Prakash Raj, Urmila Matondkar and other celebs condemn Muzaffarnagar teacher's incitement of religious hatred in school August 27, 2023 at 12:16AM

A private school teacher in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar has been accused of inciting religious hatred among children after she instructed them to slap their Muslim classmates. The incident, which has been caught on camera, has sparked outrage on social media and drawn condemnation from Bollywood celebrities.

In the video, the teacher can be seen asking the children to slap their classmate because he did not know the maths table. She also makes several derogatory remarks about Muslims. The child can be seen crying as he is slapped by the other students.

Urmila Matondkar tweeted, "This woman is seriously sick and mentally unstable. Such people should not be allowed around children. Let alone being a teacher." Meanwhile, Renuka Shahane, wrote, "That vile teacher should be behind bars! Instead, she might just get a national teacher's award for promoting national integration! Kafkaesque!! Cry, my beloved country."

Hello @X @TwitterIndia May I kindly know why exactly my tweet has been upheld? Neither the language nor the thought behind it is derogatory towards anyone. I’m not spreading any fake news like most others. So is it plain pressure from the establishment? pic.twitter.com/f3Kv4hZhXp — Urmila Matondkar (@UrmilaMatondkar) August 26, 2023

In addition, Swara Bhasker penned a note, which read, "Getting the father of the victim child from Muzaffarnagar @muzafarnagarpol to write and sign that he will not take legal action against a teacher named Tripta Tyagi is just an attempt to save the accused teacher. The video is proof that a serious crime has been committed under the POCSO Act. DO YOUR JOB Muzaffarnagar Police!"

मुज़फ़्फ़रनगर के उस पीड़ित बच्चे के पिता से @muzafarnagarpol द्वारा ये लिखवा लेना और साइन करवाना कि वे तृप्ता त्यागी नामक अध्यापक के ख़िलाफ़ क़ानूनी कार्यवाही नहीं करेंगे, महज़ आरोपी अध्यापिका को बचाने की कोशिश है। वीडियो प्रूफ़ है कि पॉक्सो इत्यादि क़ानून के तहत संगीन जुर्म हुआ… — Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) August 25, 2023

Reacting to the incident, Swastika Mukherjee said, "A teacher!!! This is what it has come to. How are we going to recover from this?” while Prakash Raj wrote, "The darkest side of HUMANITY we are getting into. Aren't you worried #justasking."

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
