The Kerala government has ordered a probe into the controversy over the singing of an RSS song by a group of school students onboard the newly inaugurated Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express train.

State Education Minister V. Sivankutty said the government views the incident with utmost seriousness, adding that the Director of General Education has been instructed to submit a report soon.

The probe will examine whether there were lapses in involving students in an official function and whether the platform was misused for political or ideological purposes.
