No hijab in uniform of student police cadets: Kerala govt

The Kerala government, after careful examination of the facts, was fully satisfied that the demand of the complainant is not considerable, the order copy said. 

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government has said that it cannot allow students to wear hijab and full sleeves as part of the uniform of Student Police Cadets. The government was considering a plea filed by Riza Nahan, an eighth standard student of GHSS, Kuttiadi in Kozhikode.

The plea was initially filed with the Kerala High Court which redirected it to the government. The government, after careful examination of the facts, was fully satisfied that the demand of the complainant is not considerable, the order copy said. 

The government order also said that if such a waiver is considered in the Student Police Cadet project, similar demands will be made on other similar forces, which will significantly affect the secularism of the state.
