{ First we’ll perform the flashback of when the protesters barged into our school,
many people in groups or crowds will emerge from the back of the MPH and will
then make their entry from either side of the audience (or the middle even),
climbing on the stage and shouting in objection, raising fists and flags.}
Introduction:
Nayela:
َيٰٓـَأُّيَه ا ٱَّلِذيَن َء اَم ُنٓو ۟ا ِإن َج ٓاَء ُكْم َفاِس ٌۢق ِبَنَبٍۢإ َفَتَبَّيُنٓو ۟ا َأن ُتِص يُبو۟ا َقْو ًۢم ا ِبَج َه ٰـ َلٍۢة
٦ َفُتْص ِبُح و۟ا َعَلٰى َم اَفَعْلُتْم َنٰـ ِد ِم يَن
{ Zikra}-“ O believers, if an evildoer brings you any news, verify ˹it˺ so
you do not harm people unknowingly,becoming regretfulfor what you
have done.” [ SURAH HUJURAT : 6 ]
{Now, everyone will leave the MPH, except narrators}
ikra:“Assalamualaikum everyone! Today we will becovering a sensitive topic that still
Z
haunts our school from the past three months and is still continuing today. Introducing…
T he ultimateMIRROR, presented by Grade 9th A.”
Aaliya:“Every morning we stand in front of a mirrorto make sure we look presentable. But
how often do we stand before the things that reveal who we truly are? A mirror can show
us our reflection. The ultimate mirror shows us ourselves.”
Zikra:“In this assembly, we will demonstrate thedeceiving lies spreading all over social
media and how it can easily influence people to make the wrong decisions along with what
the actual truth is.”
Aaliya:“Let’s start from the very beginning, whereall of this chaos began. The starting of
the challenges we faced, the obstacles Allah tested us with, and how the EPS is revealing
t he truth along with patience and legal actions.
(aafiya;scene 1,how it all started)
Scene 1: How it all started
{ There will be a few parents who will be sitting on chairs and checking their mobile
phones. It will appear that it wasn't a holiday (despite the collectors orders) and will then
look completely shocked. Then they will start by creating a whatsapp group which will
include text messages from the parents discussing this issue. This will include the
‘evidence’}
Mariyum:“ Are ? ‘Working day’? Aaj to chutti honichahiye thi!””
Zunairah:“Tum logon ne message dekha ? Inko sachmein lagta hai ke hum is garmi mein
ham apne bacchon ko school bhejenge?”
Bushra:“Bas garmi hi nahin, collector ke bhi ordershen ke aaj chutti honi chahiye thi. Yeh
baat sahi nahin hai.”
Mariyum:“Iss school ne humare bacche ko intna overburdenkarke rakha hai. Hum is baat
pe chup thodi reh sakte hein”
Zunairah:“Haina? Yeh log apni hi taanashahi krterehte hain”
Bushra:“Ab hame hi kuch krna padega”
ikra:“A few days later, the parents werecalledby the school for something quite
Z
unexpected…”
{This will be when the parents and their children will receive their TC notices. Since
(according to what we know) there were only 2-3 parents who went to the school to get
the TC. So, we'll show the reaction of a parent when the student tells them that they
have been expelled. The student walks out of the room and calls for their mom.}
Mahira :“Amma! Amma! Look at this message!!”
Mariyum:“What’s wrong with you? What is it?”
Mahira : “Yeh school waale kuch bhi krte rehta hain,wapas se itna lamba chodha messege
bhejh diya faltu mein dimag kharab krte rehte hain. Aap hi padh kar btaye kya likha hai”
Mariyum:“Kyaa???”(BG musics [indian Tv serials;dhumtanana])
{ The child then gives the phone to their mom, who looks ultimately shocked and in rage,
she will then put a hand on her head in frustration, then will grab the child's arm and will
take them to the school (with an idea in mind). On the other hand, the child will look sort
f confused and worried.}
o
Mariyum: “Pehle toh yeh chutti nhi dete ab mere bachhekoh school se nikal diya??!!”
Mahira :Amma? kya mein mein ab school nhi jaungi? Kya mujhe sach men nikal diya?
Mariyum:”Aise kaise? Mein batati hu kal in logo schoolja kr!!!”
{ Now, we will have the scene of when the parent asked the school to give the TC outside
and framed them for it, saying that they were uh… that unapologetic that they gave the
TC outside the premises. The mother will have either a phone or a polaroid camera,
recording the person. Now, this will be shown in the news.}
Reporter Scene
Saarah:“Are waah, mil gayi breaking news, chalo!”
(aaliya: Scene 2, what the news has to say)
Scene 2: What the news has to say
( NDTV NEWS AUDIO) - (NAME- NONSENSE TV, Fake News, Mirch Masal tv,
Unemployment final boss)
Zoya: “8 students issued TC notices before school reopens:Questions were raised about
resuming school in Bhopal during 45 degrees of scorching heat; principal skipped
conciliation meeting.”
Saarah:“School staff gave TC outside the campus:Parents report that the school was not
even the slightest bit considerate and went as far as issuing the TC outside the campus.”
Zoya:“Bataiye, isper aap kya kehna chahti hain?”
Mariyum: “Ab dekho ke mein is school ki reputationkese mitti mein milati hun”
Mariyum:“Our kids are in serious mental stress! Findinga new school is difficult and
getting them expelled mid-session will ruin their academic progress!”
Zoya:“What does the Head of School and the Chairmanhave to say about this??”
Crowd(all):“Yes, yes! We need answers!”
(THE REPORTERS WILL LEAVE THE STAGE)
{T he crowd will then start a huge commotion, raisingtheir mics in the air and searching
in a group until some people will stop them and will come on the stage.}
Azka:“Everyone please! Let’s talk this out in a civilized manner first! We can explain.
Khadeeja: “Mansoor Sir has been working on this schoolnot just for money or to kick out
students for no reason, when he sacrificed everything for the future generations.”
Hajra:“Exactly! He wanted to give children a high-qualityeducation whilst still having the
lowest IB fees in the world! Not for his own benefit, but for the students themselves who
cannot find a school such as this.”
Saarah:“Oh really?? So if he did it for the school,then why did he expel those
students?!”(from the backstage)
Azka:“Look, the students were supposed to come toschool for their examinations, if they
didn’t, they would face great academic loss. That’s why he didn’t give the holiday, because
he cared for the student’s academic progress.
Khadeeja:“It was only the parents' decision to makethis such a huge issue and damage the
reputation of the school. For the safety of this institution, the schl authorities decided to
remove them.”
Mahira:“Exactly. Our admission policy clearly statesthat admission is a mutual agreement.
Parents sign a contract agreeing to respect school timelines and decisions. If that contract
is breached by creating public chaos, the school has every right to safeguard its
environment.”
Azka :“And regarding the TCs, the policy is fullystructured. No student is targeted. The
guidelines state that TCs are only processed after a clear written request, settlement of all
pending dues up to the last attended day, and the clearance of processing fees. Everything
is done by the book.”
Hajra:“Let’s not forget the fee policy either. Theschool provides a clear three-notice
warning system for outstanding payments before taking any strict action. The management
operates on total transparency, not discrimination.”
afiya:“But nonetheless… The crowd still were adamanton knowing more, some holding a
A
staff in one hand, protest signs in the other.”
ikra:“Even with proper evidence, they chose to deny it. How can we possibly solve this
Z
issue?”
Aafiya:“To answer your question, the protesters alsoargued that the school didn’t have any
proof that the students were even benefitting from the school or not.”
Zikra:“But then, why didn’t the students or otherparents say anything about this??”
Aafiya:“Well, the students didn’t want to speak up,or maybe some of them are not aware
about the problem being created. Most are just scared to speak for their own safety. Unlike
the Isp lp’s and Ib lp’s taught to them”(Inc ispand ib lp in the ppt)
"And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it]."
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:4
Zikra:“But… that would also lead to consequences,right?”
Aafiya:“Of course, the institute is at risk. In fact,let’s look at the consequences of this right
now.”
Zikra:“After hearing these news, let’s see what istrending among people now”
(aafiya:scene 3)
(chinese whisper- how the story changes)
Scene 3: Chinese Whispers- How the Story
Changes
( Stage setup: Mahira stands center stage. One by one, students emerge from the left,
whisper dramatically into the ear of the person standing center stage, and then exit
backstage right while the receiver moves to center stage to pass it along.)
aarah:“We have exams and some important events which can't be postponed, so we have
S
to attend school.”
ahira :“School me exams hai to hume chutti nhi milegi”
M
(Mariyum enters, Saarah whispers to her, Saarah exits right.)
Mariyum:“Arrey, EPS walo ne itni garmi me aur chuttiyome exams rakhe hain”
hadeeja:“EPS is not a nice school, collectors keorder follow nhi kr rha h aur baccho ko
K
vacations me bula kr pr zulm kr rha h”
Azka:“EPS is such a strict school! Summer vacations me zabardasti school bulate hain”
amna: “Arey- EPS baccho ko vacations me bulata haur objection uthane pr school se nikal
A
deta h !”
Hajra:“EPS is expelling students for absolutely noreason!”
Zoya:“EPS bacchon ko faltu me fail krke school seexpell kr rha h !”
Bushra: “Huh? But that’s not true according to whatI’ve heard…”
Zunairah:“But… I heard it from every other personI talked to!”
aliya :“This shows that words can be tangled upto create rumours that are absolutely
A
wrong, and that’s how the news went from not giving holidays for conducting exams to
expelling students forcefully.
Aafiya:“Well, now that we have the knowledge of whathappened before the flashback of
the protestors barging in, let's look at the current scene of the crime.”
(aafiya; scene 4, when the boundaries were broken)
Scene 4: When the boundaries were broken
{ [The scene begins with two security guards standing in front of the stage, which
represents the school campus. The protesters enter through the doors at the back and
move in from either side of the audience, continuing to chant their anthem. They
approach the guards and gently push past them. The guards try to stop them, but the
protesters manage to enter.] }
Just zfter the flashback video ends
Zikra: Resume
Zunairah:“Arree, Aree! Kahan??!!! Aap aise andarnhi ja sakte!”
Protestors:“Humko Fraz Sir se milna hai!!!” UNHONEHME BULAYA H
Mariyum: “kiski pemission se jaa rahe henn aap ???”
[The protesters continue forward, bang on the boards/sliders, and enter the stage. They
climb onto the stage from the front and sit at equal distances from one another while
still chanting.]
Aafiya:“The guards tried their best to stop the protesters from entering the school
premises, but to no avail.”
Aaliya:“Not only that, but many students were shakenby this sudden intrusion.”
{ Someone (Mariyum) will call the police officers - at least 3 police officers that have
been called by the school. Instead of taking any action or doing what they were called for
they are sitting, chilling, having tea and using their mobile phones.}
(ignorance of accountability)
Zunairah -please call the police we may get somehelp from them
Mariyum-yes, meanwhile i call them please keep theprotestors in control
(ppt phone ringing)
Mariyum- siiiiiiiirrrrr!, emergencyyyy jaldi aye!EPS me hangama hogaya hai! BJP ki ABVP
student body protest karne aayi hain!”(Add a imageof school and police station in the ppt
with a boundary wall)
[ Bro so after the police officers aka azka, aamna, and bushra] will come from the back
like yk slowly walking]
Mariyum: “Aree in logo ko aane mein itna time kyunlag raha hai”
[the police officers will have alr crossed half the mph]
Aafiya:“When authority figures are called to protect,their indifference speaks louder than
words.”
[the police officers have alr climbed up the stage]
Aaliya:“Instead of taking action, the officers chosecomfort over duty, highlighting an
ignorance of accountability.”
Azka:(Sitting comfortably on the stage, looking downat the students and protesters with
complete casualness)“Hanji farmaye, ham aapke liyekya kar sakte hein?”
Zunairah:(Stepping forward, looking at the audience in distress)“Sir they spent 3–4
precious hours creating panic, please take action against them.”
{Mariyum will walk on the side of the MPH while talking on the phone.}
Mariyum:“We’ll call Fraz sir again. Arrey sir, yehpolice wale toh jawab hi ni de rahe, action
lena to dur ki baat h, yeh log toh beith kar reels chla rahe hai!”
Zunairah:“Aur upar se in protestors ne hamari naakme dam krdiya h, kya pta yhan kab tak
bethenge.”
Protestors:“Hum toh yahin baithenge jab tak humarimaange puri nahi hoti!”
Aamna:(Not looking up from her phone, scrolling)“Haan, haan, baithe raho. Shor kam
machana, hume game khelna hai.”
Fraz sir(whoever):Ok I will be there as soon as possible
{Meanwhile someone(baji) will bring a tray of water.}
Bushra:“Aree chai bhi le aaye”
Mariyum:“Sir... Ma'am... Aap inhein bahaar nikalneke bajaye, inke sath hi baith gaye? Yeh
hamari safety ka sawal hai!”
Bushra:“Arre beta, garmi bohot hai bahaar. Waisebhi, thodi der me yeh log thak kar apne
aap chale jayenge. Chill karo yawwr!”(bushra will leave the stage after saying ) (add a
picture of office(eps) in the ppt of eps)
{Fraz sir will enter the and sit with the protestors}
Fraz Sir:Yes, what happened? Why are you all here?
Zikra:Fraz Sir! Humein aapse seedhe jawab chahiye!Aap hamari student body ki demands
ko ignore nahi kar sakte!
Mahira:Haan! School administration apni manmani chala raha hai! Hamari maange puri
karo, varna hum yahan se ek kadam nahi hilenge!
Fraz Sir:“Dekhiye, agar aapko koi bhi shikayat hai,toh uske liye administrative office hai. Ek
school campus me, school hours ke dauran, is tarah zabardasti ghus kar hangama karna
bilkul galat hai. This is an educational institution, not a political battleground.”
Everyone will leave except the police officers
{Narration will go on like Fraz sir came to handle the situation}
Aamna: “Dekha? Nikal hi diya na inn logo ko.”
aliya:“When the very walls meant to shield the futureof this nation are breached, we look
A
around for a shield. We look around for safety.”
afiya:“But what happens when the shield itself turnsinto glass? Transparent, fragile, and
A
entirely hollow.”
aliya:“A school is a place of learning, not a battlegroundfor political flags. Yet, the
A
gatekeepers of law looked away, trading their responsibility for tea and screens.”
afiya:“Three hours. Three precious, terrifying hoursof panic. Not because the intruders
A
were too strong...”
Aaliya:“...but because the system was too weak.”
aliya:“When accountability sleeps, chaos wakes up.And it is always the innocent who pay
A
the price afterall.”
(zikra:scene 5, the supporting cast )
( like fraz sir will come and will have a mushwarrah with like yk the protestors and will
eventually ask the protestors will go- so when the protestors are gone the police officers
will say- that)
Scene 5: The supporting cast
{ There will be Ian Davis, parents, students and other externals who will come together
as they say their lines. At the center, they will join and hold hands in unity to support
EPS as a whole.}
Azka:“As a parent of EPS, I can proudly say thatEPS has not only helped my child reach
higher grades but has also prepared him for the hereafter.
Furthermore I would like to appreciate Mansoor Sir’s emails which are always very
informative and updates up regarding the correct Deen. Not only that, but alsoEPS keeps
contributing the best education with subsidies fees for ummah. I personally request the
parents to support the schools and avoid negative comments on social media as well.
(policies or admission)
(Azka)
Ian Davis’ reflection (bushra):“As a global IB educatorwho is currently working on a pHD
on the values in education and their role in school, I can confirm that it was a privilege to
see EPS grow into a school full of ethics and moral values since the evaluation I did from
2012, when I first visited EPS.”
Zikra:“This can be proven by observing the IBDP resultsand the IGCSE A* of 10th grade in
2024, 2025, and 2026.”
(zikra;scene 6, what we can do)
Scene 6: What we can do(Ending)
{ During Nayela’s speech, we will start the batch distribution to save time. The students will emerge from
the sliders and will distribute the badges to every grade, dividing into two groups.}
Nayela: Now that we know what happened and why it is important to verify information
before believing it, the question is: What can we, as students of EPS, do?
As we all know the fastest way to spread awareness today is through social media. Every
day, people scroll through posts, videos and comments. While there were negative
comments, there were also many parents, students, alumni, and well-wishers of eps who
appreciated the values, discipline, and quality of education at EPS. Their words remind
us that not everything shared online reflects the complete truth.
If we choose to spread positivity, respond with facts, and stand against rumours in a
respectful way, we can make a real difference. When the voices of EPS students come
together, they can help others see the truth from those who experience it every day.
Let's imagine someone posts a piece of information on social media. One person
sees it and shares it, another person exaggerates it a little , and by the time it
reaches the tenth person, the original person is sitting there thinking,'Bhai… yeh
maine kab bola?!'
Sounds funny right , but this is exactly how rumours can spread. And that's why
we need to be careful about what we share and what we believe .
But change begins with each one of us. We often think,"Someone else will do it,"and
because of that, no one does. Let us not wait for others , be responsible, speak with
honesty, and support our school whenever the truth needs our voice.
٧ َو ِإْذَتَأَّذَن َر ُّبُكْم َلِئنَشَكْر ُتْم َأَلِز يَد َّنُكْم َۖو َلِئنَكَفْر ُتْم ِإَّن َعَذاِبىَلَشِد يٌۭد
“If you are grateful, I will certainly give you more. But if you are ungrateful, surely my
punishment is severe.” [ SURAH IBRAHIM : VERSE 7 ]
(Meanwhile all the student will come on the stage for saying Jazakallah)
JAZAKALLAH !
Nayela: So to help all of us remember this great responsibility, we have prepared these
bag clips for all of you. We hope they remind us every day to stand for truth, kindness,
and justice—because even one honest voice can inspire many others.
Zikra - now i would like to call [Link] ahmed sir for his valuable reflection .
{ After that batch distribution, the whole class will gather in front of the stage and will
say this line:}
Badge distribution: narrators
JAZAKALLAH !
