The Kerala government on Saturday stood firm in its decision to introduce Zumba dance in state schools as part of its anti-drug campaign, saying the opposition to it is "more venomous than narcotic substance".
The opposition Congress, however, took a stand that they are not against Zumba, but it is better not to impose such things. Such matters should not lead to controversies as there is a section of people who would take advantage of it, the grand-old party said.
Explaining the government's stance over the matter, General Education Minister V Sivankutty said a section of people are deliberately creating issues over the matter and nothing harmful for children is being implemented.
