On May 31, the Madhya Pradesh government had ordered a probe after controversy erupted over the uniform of a private school in the district, with some claiming that a part of it resembled the hijab.
On Friday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan while addressing an event in Chhatarpur district said a school forcing female students to wear a head scarf will not be allowed to function in the state.
“I was told that girls in Damoh were told to wear a scarf and then come to school. They were also teaching poetry of a man who talked about the division of the country. I want to warn you that in Madhya Pradesh such things (institutions) will not be allowed to operate. The education policy that has been enacted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government will only be followed and if someone teaches something wrong, or if any daughter is forced to wear a scarf, then such a school will not be allowed to function in Madhya Pradesh,” Chouhan warned.
