An Army-run school in Baramulla district has stoked a controversy by asking its staff to avoid wearing hijab during school hours, prompting criticism by the Jammu and Kashmir’s mainstream political parties.
In a circular dated April 25, the principal of the Dagger Parivar School Baramulla, a school set up under the aegis of the Army and the Indrani Balan Foundation, asked the teachers to avoid wearing hijab during school hours "so that students can feel comfortable and are forthcoming to interact with teachers and staff".
However, on Wednesday, the school issued an amended version of the circular, replacing the word hijab (head cover) with ‘niqab’ (face veil).
The April 25-dated circular was been widely shared on social media.
Efforts to seek comments from the school management, including the principal, did not materialise.
Former J and K chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti strongly condemned diktat.
"I condemn this letter issuing diktats on hijab. J&K may be ruled by BJP but it’s certainly not like any other state where they bulldoze the houses of minorities & not allow them the freedom to dress as they want. Our girls will not give up their right to choose," Mehbooba tweeted.
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah said it was an attempt to gain political mileage.
"In this country, everyone has the freedom to follow his or her religion. It is enshrined in our constitution that we are a secular country which means all religions are equal. I don't think any government should interfere in this.
“This is playing with such a danger that can piss problems for the country. We would like that such decisions should not be taken. The people of all faiths should be free to follow their own religion," the former J and K CM said.
"We hope that the effort to bring Karnataka into Jammu and Kashmir is stopped forthwith," he added.
Abdullah said it was wrong on part of the school to issue such a diktat.
"The reason given is just not right. This school did not start yesterday. These teachers (who are wearing hijab) must have been interacting with the students earlier also. What changed overnight?” he asked.

A dispute over restrictions on the wearing of the hijab by female students in Karnataka has now reached India’s most populous state of Uttar Pradesh, with a group of youngsters asking a college to ban the head covering.
The Dharma Samaj College in Aligarh, has now issued a notice banning entry of students without the prescribed uniform.
The directives come two days after the group of students wearing saffron scarves held a protest in the campus, and handed a memorandum to its officials seeking a complete ban on the hijab within its compound.
Reuters reported that religious garb was already not allowed in classrooms of Dharma Samaj College, but could have be worn elsewhere on campus.
Confirming this, principal of the college Dr Raj Kumar Verma, said, "We will not allow students’ entry in the premises with covered faces, as some students recently spotted wearing hijab and burqa in the campus," adding that saffron scarves will also not be allowed inside the institute."Authorities closed colleges in Karnataka last week after a new uniform policy barred students from wearing headscarves in classrooms, leading to protests by Muslim students and counter protests by Hindu students.

Authorities closed colleges in Karnataka&nbsp;last week after a new uniform policy barred students from wearing headscarves in classrooms, leading to protests by Muslim students and counter protests by Hindu students. Pertinently, protests were organised in&nbsp;Aligarh Muslim University in support of the women students who were not allowed to attend classes in hijab in a college in Udipi in Karnataka.

The petitioners challenging restriction on hijab in Karnataka schools and colleges in Karnataka High Court on Wednesday said that the government and colleges were selective picking on hijab. Why is hijab being single out and Muslim students are being asked to choose between faith and education, the lawyer for Muslim girls argued in the court.
The petitioners pointed out that “Hindu girls wearing bangles and Christian girls wearing cross are not sent out". What about ghoonghat, turban or cross? the petitioners asked the court.
The court deferred the hearing for Thursday.
Alleging discrimination against Muslim girls purely based on religion, the students' lawyer also underlined that “no other religious symbol is considered in the government Order."
Controversy over hijab has been simmering in Karnataka for over a month. A number of schools and colleges have been denying entry to Muslims girls coming in hijab.
Chaos prevailed on Wednesday in several pre-university colleges in Karnataka, which were opened on Wednesday after remaining shut for a week owing to the Hijab row, as the Burqa-clad Muslim students were not let in.
The High Court, in its interim order pending consideration of all petitions related to the hijab row, last week restrained the students from wearing saffron shawls, scarves, hijab and any religious flag within the classroom.

Chaos prevailed on Wednesday in several pre-university colleges in Karnataka, which were opened on Wednesday after remaining shut for a week owing to the Hijab row, as the Burqa-clad Muslim students were not let in.
Amid tight security with policemen deployed in and around Pre-university colleges at many sensitive places, the day saw a section of Muslim students remaining adamant not to remove the Burqa, let alone Hijab, the Islamic scarves.

Degree colleges also reopened on Wednesday but the government had made it clear that no uniform is stipulated there and, hence, students are free to wear the dress of their choice.
The burqa clad girls were barred entry in most of the government pre-university colleges leading to tension there.
As the tension simmered in Sagara government pre-university college in Shivamogga district, the college authorities announced a holiday for the day.
In DVS College in Shivamogga, the girls who stood outside the college gate told reporters that their faith was more important than any government order.
“Today was our test and we are not allowed to go in. For us, practising our faith is as much important as education and Burqa is part of our faith. We will not let remove it,” a girl told reporters.
In Vijayapura, the girls were not let inside the campus as they refused to remove their burqa. Similar incidents happened in Bijapur, Kalaburagi and Yadgir.
Due to the row over Hijab versus saffron scarves, leading to untoward incidents in parts of the State early last week, High schools, PU and Degree colleges colleges were shut since February nine.
High schools reopened on Monday.
On January one, six girl students of a college in Udupi attended a press conference held by Campus Front of India (CFI) in the coastal town protesting against the college authorities denying them entry into the classroom by wearing Hijab.“The institution did not have any rule on Hijab-wearing as such and since no one used to wear it to the classroom in the last 35 years. The students who came with the demand had the backing of outside forces,” Rudre Gowda had said.
