Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) caused a ruckus at a private school in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna on Friday after a video showing students wearing hijab surfaced on social media.
According to the police, the video is from a cultural programme held at Prince Global School on the occasion of Ganeshotsav and Eid Milad-un-Nabi.

The protesters, who alleged that Hindu girls were made to wear hijab, were seen engaged in a heated debate with representatives of the school management, who apologised to the ABVP members.
It is further learnt that the principal of the school was removed as a consequence. Rakesh Kumar Sagar, Superintendent of Police, Guna, said that neither side approached the police with any complaint.
In June this year, images of non-Muslim girls wearing hijab were put up outside a school in Damoh district of the election-bound State, triggering a major political controversy followed by a police probe.
