A teacher at a private law college affiliated to the University of Calcutta resigned and stopped attending classes after the institute authorities allegedly requested her to refrain from wearing a hijab to the workplace.
However, as the matter became public and sparked an uproar, the college authorities claimed that it was a result of miscommunication, and she would be returning on June 11 after withdrawing her resignation.
Sanjida Qadar, a teacher at LJD Law College for the past three years, resigned on June 5 following allegations that the college authorities had instructed her not to wear a hijab at the workplace after May 31.
