Tension In Tripura's Bishalghar After Student Attacked Over Hijab Protest

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation (representational)

Guwahati:

The situation in Bishalghar subdivision of the bordering Sepahijala district, Tripura, turned tense on Friday as a Muslim school student was brutally attacked by a group of outsiders. The incident happened after the student protested against the group for preventing Muslim girls from entering the school wearing hijab.

The incident sparked outrage among locals, leading them to block the roads in protest. They alleged that the victim, a class 10 student, was dragged out of the school and beaten in front of the school, while no teacher, including the headmaster, came to his rescue.

In response to the incident, Priyatosh Nandi, the headmaster of the government-aided Karaimura Class 12 school, said that a week ago, a group of former students, all affiliated with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, met him.

They raised concerns about allowing Muslim girl students to wear hijab in the school premises and requested him to enforce a ban on it, citing it as non-compliance with the prescribed government uniform.

Although Mr Nandi verbally informed the students not to wear hijab and come to school, he expressed doubts as there is no clear instructions regarding from the concerned department if wearing hijab is allowed or disallowed in schools.

Meanwhile, tensions continue to escalate in the mixed-populated area, prompting the deployment of a large number of police forces. As a precautionary measure, classes have been suspended in an effort to de-escalate the situation.

Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and efforts are being made to resolve the issue and restore peace in the region.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
