ISLAMABAD: A video of a Muslim girl wearing a hijab and offering prayer inside a classroom prompted Dr Harisingh Gour University , a central varsity in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar to order an inquiry.
The Karnataka High Court had on March 15 dismissed the petitions seeking permission to wear hijab or headscarf inside classrooms, observing that it is not a part of the essential religious practice in Islam.
Dr Harisingh Gour University (HGU), a Central varsity located in Sagar city of Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday set up an inquiry committee after a right-wing outfit submitted a video of a student in hijab purportedly offering namaz inside a classroom.
