NEW DELHI: Outrage poured in from several quarters especially on social media on a shocking viral video of a teacher seen exhorting her students to slap a Muslim classmate for not doing his homework and not learning the multiplication tables.

The shocking video which has emerged from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, in which a school teacher who is identified as Tripta Tyagi can be seen almost repeatedly goading children to slap the child whose name is said to be Mohammad Dilsah aged 8 with full force.

In the background of the video a man is also partially seen and clearly heard laughing at the sobbing child, as the teacher instructs students to Dilshad one by one and hit him, "Aur-Maro, Zor Se Maro" (Hit him and hit him hard) and even asks the children on whose turn it was to come up to hit the boy.

Even as the child Dilsah is seen sobbing and whimpering in pain with an expression of fear and anxiety, the teacher is heard in the video urging children to hit him on the waist as she could see his face has turned red due to already being hit with force. 

At some point the teacher is heard saying, "Maine tho keh diya ki jitne bhi Mohammdian bache hai unke waha chale jao" (I have declared that go to all those Muslim children). It is being reported that the teacher is the owner of Neha Public School situated in Khubbapur, Muzaffarnagar.

As the video went viral it sparked an outrage. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi posted on Twitter in Hindi writing, "Sowing the poison of discrimination in the minds of innocent children, turning a holy place like a school into a marketplace of hatred — nothing worse a teacher can do for the country."

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav posted on Twitter calling the teacher a 'blot on teacher society' and demanded her sacking with immediate effect. 

Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Pilibhit, Varun Gandhi also posted on Twitter condemning the incident terming it shameful.

Meanwhile, when media persons tried to get a response from the boy's parents on the action they would take against the teacher, his father said that he would not be sending his child to that school again as a settlement had been reached that no complaint would be filed and that the school will return the fee that I have submitted.
