Udupi Hijab Row: College Violating Religious Freedom Of Muslim Students, Says PFI

Karnataka state general secretary of Popular Front of India, Nasir Pasha on Sunday said that the Udupi college denying entry in classrooms to Muslim students wearing hijabs was creating unnecessary controversy violating the religious freedom of Muslims.

For over a month now, Muslim students wearing hijabs have been denied entry into the by the Government Women’s PU College in Udupi. The students claim the college principal even refused to talk to their parents to hold a discussion on the issue. They also complained that they are not being allowed to talk in Urdu, Arabic and Beary languages in the college.

Pasha said, “It is also an extremely unreasonable move for the Principal of the college to deny the students wearing headscarves entry into the classrooms. Notably, college students from the Muslim community have been attending classes adhering to the existing policy on clothing on a college level.”

“Girl students possess every freedom to decide, wear modest clothing of their choice. It is impossible to bring about equality through the clothes we wear. Instead of creating controversies over headscarves due to internalized prejudice, it is incumbent in this day and age to delve into the topic of providing value-based, quality education,” Nasir Pasha said.
