Amid the Hijab row, the All India Bar Association (AIBA) has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding the implementation of a dress code in educational institutions across the country. The AIBC said that the anti-social elements are trying to spoil secular values in educational institutions by misguiding Muslim students to wear Niqab, Hijab, Burka in place of prescribed secular uniform.
The All India Bar Association added that the country is passing through a critical time where anti-social elements are trying to sabotage the secular fabric of the country. "Especially during this time, nobody should be permitted to use Hijab or Niqab in educational institutions in India and educational institution's uniform should be strictly adhered to by the students of secular institutions," it said.
The AIBA called up the Centre and state governments to ensure that all students, irrespective of any religion, wear the school uniform to uphold secular values in India as India is a secular country.
The Hijab protests began last month when a few students at the Government Girls PU college in Karnataka's Udupi district alleged that they had been barred from attending the classroom. During the protests, some students claimed they were not allowed to enter inside the classroom for wearing hijabs.
