On Wednesday, Nitesh Rane, a Maharashtra minister and BJP leader, asked the state government to ban girls from wearing burqas during the upcoming class 10th and 12th exams. He wrote to the education minister, Dada Bhuse, explaining that if girls wear burqas while taking tests, it might lead to cheating and safety problems.
Rane said it’s important that all students take these exams honestly and clearly, without any unfair practices. He suggested that female police officers should check the students if needed. He believes that allowing burqas makes it hard to see if students are hiding electronic devices to cheat, and that this could also cause issues in society if something goes wrong.
The Class 10 exams will start on February 21, and the Class 12 exams will begin on February 11.
