“Poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children!”, Congress leader and Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi reacted to the Muzaffarnagar incident in which a teacher asked her students to slap a Muslim boy in the class.

In a haunting video which went viral on social media, a private school teacher from Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar is seen asking her students to slap a Muslim boy, and the children follow the teacher’s orders.

“Sowing the poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children”, Mr Gandhi wrote on X in reaction to the incident.

Mr Gandhi strongly opposed the action of the teacher as she had converted a “”holy place like school into a market place of hatred”.

“Nothing worse a teacher can do for the country”, Mr Gandhi said.

He alleged the ruling BJP government for spreading hatred and communal violence in India. “This is the same kerosene spread by the BJP which has set every corner of India on fire”, he added.

“Children are the future of India – do not hate them, we all have to teach love together”, Mr Gandhi advised.
