The Muslim Educational Society had banned female students and faculty on its campuses from wearing niqab, the face veil, starting June 1 and the circular had become an issue of quite a controversy. Eminent people had voiced their opinion on the issue and Hindu Aikya Vedi leader K P Sasikala welcomed MES’ decision.
“If covering your face is a part of your custom, so be it. but you cannot come to public space with your face covered. The dressing should be in such a way that people can identify you” said Sasikala.
Earlier Fazal Gafoor, president of MES had said that the circular he issued merely restricts female students from wearing clothing that is “unacceptable to mainstream society which includes jeans, leggings, miniskirts, and, of course, face veils. “We just want our students to maintain decorum in their attire,” he insisted.
