The play was held on the schoolday of Sri Rama Vidyakendra High School, Kalladka on Sunday, December 15.  Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, DV Sadananda Gowda, Puducherry Governor Kiran Bedi and Ministers Sashikala Jolle and H Nagesh also witnessed the play put up by the students.

“Even though the supreme court has said what happened in Babri was wrong, we cannot accept everything that is there in the judgment and questioned that part in our play,” said RSS Leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat when questioned about the reason behind enacting a communally charged play which is against the Supreme Court’s observations on Babri Masjid demolition.

“It is not a mosque and just a building. A historical event that we are depicting and we have depicted Jallianwala Bagh in the past. There is much injustice happened like this before and we have to show such injustice in our country,” he added.

Other than the above-said play, the students also made a formations of Lotus, star, om and Ram temple that is planned to come up in Ayodhya. The Puducherry governor has tweeted a video of children forming lotus.
