Mandya, Mar 25: Bibi Muskan Khan, who shot to fame after she stood her ground against saffron scarf-wearing miscreants who chanted 'Jai Shri Ram' and demanded that she take off her hijab, had to helplessly skip her semester exams on Thursday due to security and hijab reasons.
Muskan's father Mohammad Husen said that his daughter will not write the remaining exams as well due to the lack of cooperation by the college.
"The high court has dashed our hopes that our children would be allowed to wear the hijab and attend classes and exams. We asked the college to allow our daughter to wear the hijab and sit for the exam. But they did not," he said. He said he would admit Muskan to a college where the hijab is allowed.
College authorities, however, defended their stance. "We have to follow the court's judgment and the government's directives," said an official.
AP Gnana Prakash, University of Mysore registrar (evaluation), said examinations are on for third and fifth-semester students.
