The university has no formal dress code for students on campus, but they must attend classes in "basic ethical dressing," the university's media officer Vivek Jaiswal said
A video that shows a Muslim student in hijab offering namaz in a Madya Pradesh university has led to a controversy. The video, shared on social media, shows the student offering namaz inside a classroom in Dr Harisingh Gour Sagar University, a central institution.
A right-wing group, Hindu Jagran Manch, has complained to the university administration to act against the student.
The university said it has ordered an investigation.
"A committee has been formed to investigate this. Along with this, students have been told to keep religious worship at home. The university is for studying," Vice Chancellor Neelima Gupta said.
