Students file writ against hijab ban in Chembur college

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Nine BSc students at the N G Acharya and D K Marathe College of Art, Science and Commerce, Chembur, have filed a writ petition in the Bombay high court against the ban on hijab, naqab and burkhas on the college premises. “You shall follow the dress code of the college of formal and decent dress, which shall not reveal anyone’s religion, such as no burkha, no nakab, no hijab, no cap, no badge, no stole etc. That’s when we decided we would go to court to fight for our rights.” With the backing of a lawyer, the students then wrote on May 27 to the chancellor and vice-chancellor of Mumbai University and the University Grants Commission to “upkeep the spirit of imparting education to all citizens without discrimination”. “Just as the phrase goes ‘Our body, our right’, it is our right to wear the hijab or naqab,” said Ansari. We are not going to leave and compromise on our education.” “Wearing a hijab or naqab is our religious right,” said Mariyam Jalil Khan, another petitioner.
