A Patna college on Monday became the centre of the news after it prohibited wearing a 'burqa' on the premises. "All students have to come to college in the prescribed dress code, every day except on Saturday. Students are prohibited from wearing 'burqa' in college", reads a notice signed by the Principal and Proctor of the college. There is no blanket ban on wearing a burqa in the college premises but students could remove the burqa in the classrooms if they want. Our only motive is that there is discipline in the college," college principal Dr Shyama Rai was quoted by news agency ANI as saying.
