Now, an Islamic militant outfit in Manipur has asked Muslim girl students to refrain from wearing frock and skirt or any western dress in educational institutions in the state from next year.
The 'information and publicity' secretary of the People's United Liberation Front (PULF), Belal Khan wants that all Muslim girl students should wear the dress accepted by Islamic law. Huh. The statement issued by the militant said that anyone violating the diktat of the outfit would be punished. [Link]
Wait, there's more.
Khan said that civil society, school authorities, and students should not not appeal to PULF to relax its diktat. The man said those who violated the diktat would be punished from January 2008 onwards.
