The message of brotherhood and secularism was delivered by the tiny tots of SHEMROCK Buttercups School, Khalini, during their annual day celebrations “Colors of India” held at Gaiety Theater. They delivered a message in a loud voice that those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people as they presented various dances from different state like Bhangra, Gujarati, Bengali, Kawali and many others to name.
