The thing about wearing hijab as soon as you get inside?
Manya Singh claims that as soon as she reached inside, some people present there told her that she would have to roam here wearing hijab only. When she asked why it was necessary to do this, according to her, some people present there said in a strict manner that it is forbidden to stay here without Hijab. According to Manya, some people even asked her to go out.
Controversy increased when hijab was refused
Manya Singh says that she flatly refused to wear hijab. After this the atmosphere became a little tense. She told that despite this, she and her friend kept moving forward in the campus and kept trying to roam there.
“Close the button of the shirt” – it was also said

Manya alleges that after some time a person came straight to her and asked her to close the buttons of her shirt. She objected to this and said that this is her personal dress and no one has the right to decide what she should wear.
Claim made regarding posters also
