KSU supports Zumba dance in schools

The Kerala Students Union (KSU) on Saturday offered full support to the government’s well-meaning work to curb the spread of addictive substances.  

Amid opposition from some Muslims groups to introducing Zumba dance in schools as part of a broader anti-drug campaign, Aloshious Xavier, State president of the KSU, said there’s no need for controversy over the State government’s well-intentioned initiatives against addiction.  

“Zumba dance is popular in the State and there’s nothing unethical about it. The KSU belives that the controversy is unwarranted,” he said. However, he added that Zumba dance or seizures of contraband drugs from a few cine stars would not suffice to resolve the serious social crisis posed by drug abuse in the student community. “It requires a deeper intervention,” he added.
