Men and women from audience invade stage, raise pro-Hindu slogans
A group of people raising pro-Hindu slogans disrupted a Christmas programme at a private school in Pataudi in Haryana on Friday evening. The organisers, House of Hope, a social-cum-religious organisation, described the incident as “sad”, but did not register a formal police complaint.
The “Christmas Milan” programme, including a small skit and singing of Christmas carols, was being held at a primary school in Pataudi when some men and women climbed invaded the stage and took over the mike, raising slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. One of the men then announced from the podium that they wanted the welfare of the entire world, but not through conversions.
“The men and women were sitting inside when we started the programme. We asked them if they had any objection, but they said that we could continue. But while the programme was going on, they took our mike and raised slogans. They did not allow us to continue our programme,” said one of the members of House of Hope, speaking to The Hindu over the phone.
