As per news report of NDTV, the students said stopping them from wearing a hijab - their seniors were allowed - violates their fundamental right, and that they feel uncomfortable without one when sitting before male lecturers. "We came to the college wearing a hijab. However, we have been barred once again from attending the classes," Aliya, one of the students, told NDTV. "We've been barred for 20 days for wearing hijab. We want justice," Resham said, as another student, Muskan Zainab, asked, "The Constitution gives us the right to wear a hijab, why is the college stopping that?"
