The controversy over burqa erupted once again on Thursday when some students of a college in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad were denied entry for wearing it. The incident took place at the Hindu College, Moradabad.

The women have alleged that they were not being allowed to enter the college premises and they are being compelled to remove their burqa at the gate. A scuffle allegedly broke out between the students, the Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha workers, and the college professors who remained adamant about sticking to the prescribed rules.

A video has gone viral on the social media. Meanwhile, the college professor, Dr A P Singh, said they have implemented a dress code for the students here and anybody who refuses to follow it will be barred from entering. Members of the Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha submitted a memorandum to include the burqa in the dress code for college and allow the girls to attend their classes wearing it.
