Watch: Muslim student slams her Hijab-clad classmates for giving communal angle in routine-check up for exam

After controversy erupted when some female Muslim students accused a Hindu male teacher of forcibly removing their ‘hijab’ during the examination, a Muslim student has come forward to explain how her Hijab-clad classmates had put forth wrong allegations.

Earlier, the students had come to appear for exams wearing hijab. They started to create ruckus when the teacher told them to remove the headscarf for routine-check up saying they might be hiding a Bluetooth device for cheating. The principal and the teacher refuted the allegations saying the teacher was only being cautious against cheating by students.

Principal Kanu Priya told the media that the teacher was only checking for a Bluetooth device and the girls’ allegations were wrong. She said, "It's shocking that a class 11th girl will behave like this. It seems somebody has misdirected her in the name of religion and hijab. There's no discrimination based on religion or caste on school premises."

 

 

 

Slamming these students, a student named Aiman Fatima from the college was also seen supporting the principal. Fatima said, “Some girls were complaining that Sir has got our headscarf removed. I told them that while it was good that they were wearing the scarf, Sir asked them to remove it only because students are known to cheat using Bluetooth devices.

 

 

“They started citing religion and all that. I wonder where does their religion go when they attend a function? How come they remember their religion only during exams? It it because of girls like these that people start questioning the religion itself.”

 

Asked by a journalist if the girls in the college are asked to remove their headscarf in general, Fatima said it never happens.

 

Speaking about the same, the matter was investigated by the Mithanpura Police Station in Muzaffarnagar district. The station house officer Shrikant Sinha said that after talking to both sides and “counselling” them, no need was found for filing a police case or deploying security forces.
