Mangaluru, Jun 25: A bunch girls under the aegis of the Campus Front of India (CFI) today staged a protest in front of a prestigious private educational institution in the city over alleged restrictions on the hijab inside the classroom.

The burkha-clad girls, a few Muslim boys who gathered near the entrance gate of St Agnes College raised slogans against the hijab ban and claimed that not allowing to wear hijab is violation of an individual’s rights.

Speaking to media persons on behalf of the protesters, Fathima accused the college of repeatedly trying to snatch the “right to wear hijab” from the Muslim girls.

While contacted, the authorities of the institution downplayed the issue and accused the protesters of playing politics and trying to tarnish the image of the college. They said that such protest also will tarnish the image of Muslim community.

The authorities said that they never differentiated among students on the basis of their community and religion. However, they said, the students should obey the secular rules of the college.

“If there is any issue between the college and its students it will be sorted out with the involvement of the parents of the students. We don’t expect involvement of any organizations,” said Sr Dr M Jeswina AC, principal of the college.

I am asking now only muslims wake up when any some so called muslims their marriges arraenging in this christhian churches why? in mangalore  no muslim marrige halls ? these all are only for gimik. The college was against the sharia simply, change the college why this college only. if done like this this kind of all colleges they learn lesson .

 

Their  marriage halls we have issue their they cooking haram things & we also cooking hallal   then we no problem, because this all our dignity .throw your dignity follow Quran & Sunnah and became original muslim

If clg rules are against democracy we hv to chnge clg rules not our rights. 

When injustice becomes law be on the side of justice 

thn islam is peace & beautiful bt the systems are against islam thn this islam also hv certain stratagy & thts thought by prophet (s.a)

 

Secular? If right to cover the head is not secular for you, then there are million christians/hindu women out there wearing head scarfs including former President Prathiba Patil. So, you mean to say that they all cannot have education in India?

Ughhhhh. Individual choice yes. But college has certain rules. You don't want to follow the rules, you don't join that particular college. Also, Islam is a very beautiful religion. Let's not make it all about the Hijab.

100% they are Indians as they are fighting for their rights which is guaranteed by INDIAN CONSTITUTION. Now could you pls chek your  voter ID and of the Principal who made rules against the constitution which is legally termed as Anti-Indian rule.

How can this Principal wearing head scarf frame college laws which is against to the constitution of India. Why she is allowing her sibling nuns wearing Hijab like dress and head scarf attend classes in the same college? What is her hidden agenda? How can she justify her draconian dictat??

At one side head of the institutions are wearing head scarf and allowing Christion nuns whose dress code includes head scarf to follow their tradition. On the other side they are objecting Muslim girls to wear head scarf which is similar as their scarf. May I call it as #hypocrisy
