Judgment not related to any religious issue
The administration also clarified that the decision was not related to any religious issue. The principal said that while sitting in the class, we ask the girl students to remove the burqa. Its purpose is to clear the face of the hidden girl in front of the teacher and other students. Students can wear the burqa again after leaving the college. Till date we have not taken any action against girl students coming to college wearing burqa. We also do not give admission on the basis of caste and religion.
