Several female students of Vishwa Bharti Higher Secondary School here staged a protest against its administration on Thursday, alleging that they were denied entry to the institute for wearing abaya— loose-fitting, full-length robe.
“We are told we should go to a Madrassa if we want to wear an Abaya. We were not allowed inside the school,” said one of the protesting students. They alleged the school administration told them they were “ruining the atmosphere of the school” by wearing ‘abaya’.
