A day after allegations were made against Sweekaar Academy of Rehabilitation Sciences (SARS) Hyderabad, Telangana that the institution was denying entry of women wearing a burqa, the chairman of the institution clarified they had never discriminated against Muslim students or tried to impose restrictions on them. Speaking to TNM, the chairman of the SARS, Hanumanth Rao said, “Students continue to wear hijab in the institution, there was never any restriction on it. For years, the practice has been for the students to come to the institution wearing a burqa, remove it in the changing room and continue with their classes wearing a hijab.”
