Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane recently asked for a ban on wearing burqas during the upcoming Class 10 and Class 12 state board exams. In a letter to the school education minister Dada Bhuse, he expressed concerns that girls wearing burqas in exam halls might cheat or cause security problems.
Rane suggested that if girls cannot be identified, it may be hard to catch anyone using electronic devices to cheat. He believes that having female police officers or female staff check the students could ensure everything is done fairly.
He emphasized how important these exams are for students’ futures and stressed that they should be held in a fair and transparent way. The Class 10 exams are set to start on February 21, while the Class 12 exams will begin on February 11. As of now, officials from the school education ministry have not responded to Rane’s request.
