Kerala School Restages Pro‑Palestine Mime Under Guidelines as Police Block BJP March

Clearance followed an inquiry into the earlier halt.

Overview

  • The six‑student mime returned to Kumbala GHSS’s arts festival without flags or slogans in line with festival rules.
  • Audience members shouted pro‑Palestine slogans even as the performers complied with restrictions on chanting.
  • Police stopped BJP and Yuva Morcha protesters before the school gate as the groups demanded a case over alleged illegality.
  • The restaged performance won first prize at the festival, drawing strong applause from the crowd.
  • The Education Department completed a probe into last week’s teacher‑led disruption, filed its report with the District Education Officer, and the minister had signaled support for allowing a compliant restage.
