Stating that one of the teachers has recently lodged a complaint with the police, it was claimed on behalf of the college that there was peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in the college till some persons belonging to CFI instigated students and other parents on wearing of hijab during college hours, contrary to the dress code, during the last week of December 2021.
