London: In the Britain city of London, restriction has been imposed by the government over the observance of Islamic veil Naqab and Hijab for Muslim women. Administration of the Metropolitan College in Birmingham has imposed this restriction for its Muslim women. However after pressure from public now the law has been abandoned.
Presenting reasons to take such decision the management said that taking such step was necessary to avoid other students from anxiety or security threats they may face. ‘We have proposed the decision so that identification of the students become easy’, explained the administration official.

On the other hand, British Parliamentarian Philip Hollobone defending the college decision said that only Muslims are not confined to the restriction. Students are also restricted to wear hoodies and caps during the premises, he said.
Update: The ban imposed was abandoned after a public outcry.
