The students wearing burkha demanded that they be allowed inside the classroom to take exams and they refused to enter the classrooms without the hijab stating that they have been wearing it since childhood. The college had conveyed to the students on Monday that they are in the process of implementing the dress code.
Ayesha, a student said that the rules should have been implemented at the beginning of the year and not when there are few days left to end the academic year. Shruthi, another student said, we are not against anyone, we only want equality in the classroom.
