A Government Higher Secondary School in Kumbla, Kasaragod, faced controversy after a mime during its two-day Kalolsavam arts festival, depicting the suffering of Palestinian children under Israeli attacks, was abruptly stopped by a teacher. Students had held a photo and soft toy symbolising the plight of Gaza’s children when the curtain was brought down on Friday evening, triggering protests by student organisations and prompting a government inquiry. Teachers said the reactions stemmed from a misunderstanding of the event. Education Minister V Sivankutty condemned the stoppage, affirming Kerala’s long-standing support for Palestinians. He directed the Director of General Education to submit a report and clarified that the students would be given another chance to perform the mime, emphasising that no authority has the right to block a Palestine-themed performance.
