Row erupts after Mumbai college denies entry to students wearing burqa
A college in Mumbai stopped girl students from entering the premises while wearing burqa, but relented after a protest by parents and students and intervention by senior police officials. The security guards at the Chembur-based college asked students to remove their burqas (Islamic veil) before entering on Wednesday as the college has its own uniform, a police official said. It led to a row as parents of the students also reached the college and videos of scenes outside the gate began to circulate, he said.
