Subhramanya, October 14: In a new twist to the Subhramanya College burkha ban controversy, the Joint Director of College Education Department has suspended the order of the College's managing committee which had re-implemented the ban in spite of the Deputy Commissioner's directive against the ban on the attire inside the college campus.
The college had on Thursday put out on their notice board the intimation that the ban on burqa for Muslim girl students inside the college campus will stay. But on Friday, a notice was issued by the Principal of the college stating that the order of the managing committee has been suspended by the Joint Director of the College Education Department.
The students are meanwhile pleading the college authorities not to play with their sentiments. “We were never adamant at coming to college with the burqa. We did not file any complaint either. Our parents are also silent on the issue. We have semester exams now. We plead with the college authorities not to torture us mentally. We want to write our exams”, said one of the students.
A new notice has been placed on the college notice board informing the students of the latest development. The new order has come into force from Saturday with immediate effect.
