On Monday morning, Acharya visited the Government Girls Secondary School in Jaipur’s Gangapol locality. In a video that surfaced afterwards, he can be seen pulling up a school administrator over some students wearing the hijab.
The hijab controversy has travelled to Rajasthan from distant Karnataka after a BJP MLA's visit to a school. The students hit the streets today protesting against his comments, and claimed they were also forced to raise religious slogans.
