A Pakistani team of students swept the India Today Cup for the first time in the history of the inter-school debate competition held at Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, reported India Today on Saturday.
The team, from Lahore College of Arts and Sciences (Lacas) bagged almost all the awards in the two-day competition except for the third best speaker trophy which was won by Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai.
The participating schools included La Martiniere (Kolkata), Vidyashilp (Bangalore), Scindia School (Gwalior), Vivek High (Chandigarh), The Doon School (Dehrandun), Mayo College Girls' School (Ajmer) and Cathedral and John Connon (Mumbai).
The two teams which reached the finals were Lacas and Cathedral and John Connon.
According to India Today, the topic of the debate was that the "International Olympic Committee should ban all countries that commit human rights violations from participating in the Olympics". The Lacas team spoke in favour of the topic while the Cathedral and John Connon team opposed it.
The three-member Lacas team also called for severing all ties with countries which were violating the basic rights of their citizens.
Umar Ali from Lacas won the second best speaker prize while Parth Jhaveri of Cathedral and John Connon School won the third best speaker award.
Pakistan Zindabad!
