Teacher resigns after being asked to removehijab' by senior

December 10, 2016

Mumbai, Dec 10: A teacher working with a school in suburban Kurla has resigned alleging that her religious sentiments were being "compromised" due to the directives from her newly appointed senior.

hijabShabina Khan Nazneen (25) resigned on Wednesday, accusing her senior of forcing her to remove burqa and hijab (headscarf) during the teaching period. She cited that it was "not worthy to compromise with her religious sentiments."

However, the school management has not accepted her resignation so far and said that a decision would be taken by next week.

"I repeatedly requested the senior headmistress and conveyed my anguish to Principal too about how I was being regularly forced to do away with the burqa and hijab. But no one paid heed and so finally I sent my resignation to the Principal on December 6," she claimed.

Nazneen, who teaches Information Communication Technology to the students, admitted that while other Muslim teachers remove their burqa and hijab while taking classes she is not ready to compromise with this at any cost. She was appointed as a teacher almost three years ago.

When contacted, Vikram Pillai, Principal of the school said, "Her resignation and all related papers have been forwarded to the trust and management of the school and any decision would be taken by next week only."

Meanwhile, Nazneen has also approached an NGO Jai Ho Foundation. The foundation has written a letter to education minister Vinod Tawde.

Adil Khatri, trustee of the foundation, said, "This is in violation of her fundamental right to religion and personal liberty. We have urged minister to initiate an enquiry into the matter and act against the wrong-doers."

Divine rule says it is better for the women to wear Modestly.. The women who use their god given intellect will recognize this blessing and follow it.... May ALLaH have mercy on them and protect them ... & May ALLAH guide those who are ignorant of this blessings.

Some of them without verifying the issue are ignorantly opposing it... It is for their benefit & protect oneself when the whole world is going god less... and living worst then animals now a days.

ALLAH is most merciful and most compassionate.. People should read the QURAN which is the manual for whole of mankind and a blessing for the LIFE ... Those who are missing it are really in DARKNESS of their LIFE ...

People heedlessly living their life and without proper knowledge, they come to conclusion & attack those who follow the divine rule.
For ME God's law is the best and it will protect me from the evil eyes of todays world..

Bengaluru, June 23: A frustrated chartered accountant has committed suicide after killing his wife and mother-in-law in two different cities of India.

The murder-murder-suicide came amid acrimonious divorce proceedings that might have also involved a property dispute, police said.

Amit flew to Bengaluru last weekend to kill his estranged wife at her Whitefield residence before returning to Kolkata, where he shot dead his mother-in-law and then killed himself at an upscale residential complex in North Kolkata on Monday evening.

Amit and his wife Shilpi Agarwal, who is also a CA, had been living separately since last the two years after their marriage turned sour.

Amit took his 10-year-old son from Bengaluru with him on Monday and dropped him at his uncle’s house before heading to his in-laws’ place Phoolbagan, police said.

Neighbours told cops they heard arguments “appeared to be” over some property documents that Amit wanted his in-laws — 70-year-old Subhas and 62-year-old Lalita Dhandhania — to sign.

The first gunshot was heard a little before 6.30pm, following which Subhas ran out of his flat, bolted the door from outside and took refuge inside his next-door neighbour’s apartment. Police arrived a few minutes later to find Amit and his mother-in-law dead. Police found a suicide note from the flat.
