The Madhya Pradesh government has ordered an inquiry after a video showed a group of people raising "Jai Shriram" slogans on seeing two girls clad in burqa and hijab entering a government college in Datia town.
Ordering the inquiry, state Home Minister Narottam Mishra, who is the government spokesman, reiterated on Tuesday that there was no proposal to ban the wearing of the hijab in Madhya Pradesh.
The viral video clip showed some young men raising slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' after seeing two girls wearing burqa and hijab entering the campus of the government post-graduate college in Datia. This incident occurred on Monday.
The college had recently issued an order banning students from wearing religious attire, including hijab.
