Punjab School Showing Muslim Boy As Terrorist During I-Day Function Erupts Controversy

An Independence Day celebration at a school in Punjab has irked people after students portrayed a Muslim boy as a terrorist in the play. 

The play was held at a school under the Bhulath constituency near Punjab's Jalandhar where students had allegedly shown a boy in the religious white cap as a terrorist.

After the purported video went viral, people on Twitter lashed out at the ruling AAP government.
