The AIIMS Students’ Association on Sunday afternoon issued an apology after video recordings of a Ramleela play performed by MBBS students from the institute were shared on social media and were criticised for ‘mocking’ the Ramayana.
A group of MBBS students performed the skit in the AIIMS hostel on the occasion of Dussehra. The pupils were shown in the video recordings doing slapstick comedic versions of scenes from the Ramayana.
Following that, video excerpts have been spreading on social media with netizens, including the Twitter handle of RSS magazine Organiser, claiming that the performance mocks and insults the Ramayana.
