UI Muslim Community in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Professor M.T. Lamidi vowed that the Muslims in the institution would do everything possible to ensure that the use of Hijab becomes a reality in the secondary school owned by the tertiary institution. “We were earlier on constrained by the subjudice of the issue when a case was pending on it. The striking out of the case provided a fillip to its amicable resolution. The UIMC had previously taken advantage of the university release advising anyone who wanted a modification of the uniform to write, staunchly supporting wearing hijab.
“The UIMC is highly disturbed on the latest assault on Wednesday 03/07/2019 where one of our daughters was forced to remove her hijab and humiliated with heavy security as if a notorious criminal had been captured. This, by all intent and purposes, is an assault on the girl child that should not go unpunished. The UIMC waded in immediately it got wind of the news. The UIMC leaders drew the attention of the DVCs to the tyrannical rule of ISI and the unruly behaviour of the UI security.
