The incident took place on Friday, was captured on video and went viral on social media, sparking a debate among netizens.

The video shows the student taking the mic and chanting “Jai Shri Ram” in response to some students in the audience who shouted the same slogan. The entire auditorium then joined in and chanted the slogan in chorus. The woman professor, who was on the stage, asked the student to leave and said that such religious slogans should not be made since it was a cultural event at the college.

“We are here for some cultural programme and for some good time, so why there is slogans of ‘Jai Shri Ram’. There is no logic behind it. These events can only be successful when you are disciplined,” the professor was heard saying in the viral video.
