A college in Hyderabad is involved in a hijab dispute after a video leaked showing females taking off their headscarves before taking an exam a few female students who showed up for the Urdu-medium degree exam at KV Ranga Reddy College in Santosh Nagar, Hyderabad, on Saturday claim that they were instructed to take off their burqas before the test. While some girls objected, the majority of them went ahead and took off their hijabs in order to take the exam.
Mahmood Ali, the Telangana Home Minister, denounced the incident and promised to take the required legal measures against those responsible. He did advise against ladies wearing short dresses, though.
“While certain principals or head teachers may be doing this, our policy is wholly secular. People are free to dress however they choose, Mahmood Ali stated. “A burqa is not prohibited anywhere in the law. We will act, he continued.
“It won’t be appropriate if you dress in European clothing. In particular, women should dress nicely, he advised. “For women, it might be a problem if they are in less clothing,” he continued. If people dress more formally, there will be tranquilly.
“The college administration made us take off our burqas before going into the testing area. One of the female students who attended the exam remarked, “They asked us to wear the burqa outside.
The female students also claimed that they were delayed from showing up for the exam for roughly 30 minutes due to the confusion. While others removed their burqas and walked to the testing location were female pupils. After this occurrence, the parents of the female pupils voiced their concerns to Home Minister Mahmood Ali. He claimed that although the specific incidence may have occurred because of a specific administrator, there is no law requiring women to take off their hijabs in order to take a test.
