Trump Visit: ‘Happiness Class will continue in the midst of shootings’

NEW DELHI: As the First Lady stepped out of her armoured car onto the pavement in front of the Sarvodaya Co-Ed Senior Secondary School, Nanakpura, she was greeted with cheering students on either side waving flags of both the countries.

Videos posted on social media showed bagpipes blaring in the background as Melania Trump waved and greeted students on her way to attend the model Happiness Class of the Delhi Government school.

Social media users, reacting to the tweets on her visit, reminded of the riots in north east Delhi in which seven, including one policeman, have died and many shops and homes burnt. A nationalist mob had clashed with people protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019.

Here are some of the tweets posted in response to Trump’s school visit:

The Happiness Class will continue in the midst of shootings, lynchings, looting, burnings & murders, because the Ethical/Moral Science class has been scrapped in Delhi. https://t.co/1ol9nGCN3Z

I'm sorry I still can't get over the fact that while the people who overwhelmingly voted to put him and his party back into power are being mercilessly massacred in his city he is showing "happiness class" to Melania and saying it's a great day for Delhiites. https://t.co/qEV1OysFOc
