Protests against LGBT lessons in schools have been hijacked by those with a “religious, extremist agenda” who are holding schools “under siege”, MPs have said, as the number of schools being targeted has grown. The family also runs a TV channel – Kashmir Broadcasting Corporation – which is currently off-air but has a website that regularly posts updates on the schools protests. He describes himself as a general in army and uses words like battles, army, soldiers, and I have to keep reminding him that this is a primary school. The culture war over ‘LGBT lessons’ is based on distortion. His group, which has almost 250 members, called for protests at primary schools across the region and for parents to withdraw their children.
