Panaji : Students of Keshav Smruti Higher Secondary School from South Goa on Wednesday took out a protest rally demanding revocation of the principal’s suspension who has been suspended over the hijab row.
Principal Shankar Gaonkar was suspended on Monday by the management after Hindu organisations alleged that he allowed students to visit mosque, where they were allegedly forced to wear hijab.
“We were not forced to wear Hijab. Just like at our worshiping places and out of respect, we wore ‘dupatta’ and a scarf,” a protesting girl student said.
The protesting students demanded that the suspension of the principal should be revoked.
Chairman of Keshav Smruti Higher Secondary School, Pandurang Korganokar told IANS that students have demanded to revoke the suspension of Principal Shankar Gaonkar. “They took out a rally after the school hours. I have told them that at present I can’t revoke the suspension as inquiry is pending,” Korganokar said.
