Jalna School Under Fire After Annual Day Performance on Controversial Pakistani Song Goes Viral

The Maharashtra Police have registered a first information report (FIR) against the management of Kids World English School in Partur, Jalna, after a video from their annual day function sparked widespread public outrage. The clip, which went viral on social media platforms, shows school students carrying mock weapons and performing to the controversial Pakistani track "Gustakh-e-Nabi Ki Ek Hi Saza, Sar Tan Se Juda," as well as the theme song of the Turkish television series Ertugrul Ghazi.

The cultural event has drawn severe criticism from local organizations and citizens who objected to the choice of music and imagery for school children. According to investigators, the background display during the stage performance also featured the photograph of Mumtaz Qadri, the Pakistani elite police guard executed for assassinating Punjab Governor Salman Taseer in 2011 over blasphemy laws.
