Madhya Pradesh: College restricts hijab after right wing protest

BHOPAL: The authorities of a government college in Datia have issued a public notice, restraining students from wearing "any kind of community-specific dress, like hijab", after Hindu outfits staged protests on campus.

There is absolute harmony in the college between students of all communities, principal of Government PG College, D R Rahul, told TOI. "It was only on February 14 that some outsiders came to the college and staged protests. They pressured us saying they would create a ruckus here if 'hijab' wasn't banned. It is under their pressure that such a notice was issued," Rahul said. tnn
