Mehbooba condemns issuance of hijab ban order by Baramulla school

SGR, April 27 (PTK) Former Chief Minister and President PDP Mehbooba on Wednesday strongly condemned the issuance of hijab ban order by Baramulla school.

“I condemn this letter issuing diktats on hijab. J&K may be ruled by BJP but its certainly not like any other state where they bulldoze the houses of minorities & not allow them the freedom to dress as they want. Our girls will not give up their right to choose.” Mehbooba tweeted while sharing the letter.

“Parivaar School is a place to learn and grow emotionally & morally. As the staff of school, the main purpose is to provide for the fullest possible development of each learner. For the same, the trust must be established with the students to make them feel welcome, safe & happy. The staff is hereby instructed to avoid Hijab during school hours, so that students can feel comfortable and are forthcoming to interact with teachers & staff.” Reads the circular issued by School.
