AFTER DEMONSTRATIONS BY THE VHP WOMEN'S WING, A MADHYA PRADESH COLLEGE HAS BANNED HIJAB


 

BHOPAL: After members of the Durga Vahini, the women's wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), organised a demonstration against the institute for permitting Muslim students to wear headscarves on campus, a government college in Madhya Pradesh's Datia district has outlawed hijab.

The restriction comes only days after protests erupted in Karnataka over a decree prohibiting women from wearing hijab in classrooms. On Friday, the Karnataka high court issued an interim injunction prohibiting pupils from wearing religious garb in class until the case is resolved.

Muslim students were ordered to remove their hijab as high schools throughout Karnataka began on Monday, despite brewing tensions in the state.

"All admitted students/girls at the college have been advised that they will not be permitted to enter the institution wearing clothing from any particular community or wearing any other special dress, such as the hijab, etc." In an edict issued on Monday, Datia College's principal, DR Rahul, stated, "All students should approach this temple of education in a proper clothing."

After Durga Vahini members noticed two students wearing hijab in the college, the order was issued. The members raised a ruckus in front of the principal's office, demanding that kids wearing hijab be barred from entering. Rani Sharma, the convener of the Durga Vahini district, said they had been alerted that kids were going to college wearing hijab and burqa. "We noticed two students wearing burqas and hijab when we arrived here on Monday afternoon. We organised a demonstration in support of student equality."

The edict, according to Rahul, was issued to ensure uniformity in college attire. "Previously, students would come in regular clothes, but since the (Karnataka) hijab row, a few have begun to wear hijab and burqa."

There is no doubt over hijab in Madhya Pradesh, according to Home Minister Narottam Mishra, a Datia politician. "Please don't make any misunderstandings about it." I've requested that the district collector look into the [college] order."

After some students organised a protest against her outfit, a principal required a Muslim student to submit an apology letter for wearing hijab in the college in Satna last week.
