Assefa Bhutto reacts to Punjab’s education policy on Hijab




.... and what will the boys do? What will students of a different religion do? Why does wearing a Hijab impact grades/marks ?! https://twitter.com/dunyanews/status/841628535848620033 
Assefa Bhutto Zardari, sister of PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, questioned the logic behind the new education policy of Punjab under which female students wearing Hijab would get five extra marks.
Proposing the new policy, Punjab Higher Education Minister Raza Ali Gillani said that girls who wear Hijab would be given five extra marks in state-run schools and colleges. The decision, he said, was taken to promote Hijab in education institutions.
The minister further said that teachers would be asked to begin their class by reciting a Hadith.
Reacting to the policy, Assefa Bhutto asked what would boys and non-Muslim students do to obtain those extra marks.
She also questioned the relation between wearing a Hijab and grades/marks of a student.
“And what will the boys do? What will students of a different religion do? Why does wearing a Hijab impact grades/marks ?!,” Assefa tweeted.
