AIIMS Students Association Apologizes For Making Fun Of Ramlila

The AIIMS Student Association issued an apology on Sunday for viral Ramleela drama which 'mocked' Ramayana after videoclips of a Ramleela skit played by some students of their institute drew widespread social media criticism for allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments.



According to AIIMS Students Association, the skit performance was not meant to hurt anybody’s religious sentiments and the association will ensure that no such activity takes place in the future.


An unverified video of Nitin Singhal, who is part of a viral video, is also circulating in social media platforms where he is seen regretting the skit. In the video, he said he will not defend the action as everyone associated with the skit is embarrassed by their conduct. He said before social media outrage, they were rapped by the people of AIIMS. He further said that the point that AIIMS is Hinduphobic and does not respect Hindu festivals here is completely wrong. Some seniors have complained against us to the authorities. We observe all Hindu festivals. We celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi, Janmashtami. Most of the people are Hindus here. We are very ashamed of our conduct.


BJP spokesperson Suresh Nakhua tweeted, "this is not the first time that Aftab Soyeb has done it. He is a repeat offender and has mocked Hindu Gods in past in utterly disgusting way. Good that Unacademy removed the video asap. Strong action against Aftab is needed,"
