A group of students protested against the administration of Vishwa Bharti Higher Secondary School in Srinagar on Thursday for allegedly banning the use of ‘Abaya’, a long robe used by Muslim female students.
Hitting the streets, protesting students accused the principal of issuing a verbal order “to ban the entry of those students who wear ‘Abaya’”. “I was not allowed to enter the school because I was in ‘Abaya’,” a student said.
Another protesting student said they started wearing the garment after the school turned co-ed.
