Kozhikode (Kerala), June 28, 2025: On the controversy over Kerala Govt's plan to introduce Zumba in schools, CPI(M) general secretary MA Baby said, "This dance form is practised in over 180 countries... It is important for a sound mind and a sound body... The criticism is absolutely untrue. I have seen some videos of participants; they are fully dressed... The State Education Minister has already stated the government would like to proceed with it... Religious orthodoxy should not be brought into the education field..."
