The District Magistrate of Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur has taken cognizance of the respective case of three female students appearing suddenly in Hijabs inside a college.
Kanpur DM directed the Sub-District Magistrate (SDM) on Saturday to probe the matter and the parents of the three girls have accepted their mistake and confirmed that they will send their daughters to college in the uniform.
The Kanpur District Magistrate Rakesh Singh ordered Sub-District Magistrate Rashmi Lamba to probe the matter and submit a report on 17th August. Notably, this study will be conducted on three points.
The first question is whether these students were studying at the college from the start and came wearing hijabs at their own will. Secondly, whether the pupils were aware of the college dress code or not. The third point to be probed is whether anyone pushed the three students to wear hijab to college.
The incident occurred on the 3rd of August 2024 in the government inter-college located in the Bilhaur area of Kanpur. Three Muslim girls started coming to college wearing Hijab. One of their teachers, Jyoti scolded them for violating the rules and asked them to come to college in the uniforms only. However, her instructions did not affect the three Muslim girls and they said that even if they are expelled from the college they come to college wearing Hijab.
The matter reached the college’s principal Surjeet Singh Yadav, the Muslim girls reiterated their stand by giving it in writing that even if their names are cut from the college, they will come to study wearing Hijab. The principal took strict action and banned the entry of students wearing anything other than the prescribed dress in the college.
