Kerala women protest against professor's hijab remark by posting nude pictures with watermelon on Facebook
Thirvananthapuram, Mar 20 (IBNS): Several Kerala women have started protesting against a professor's comment who alleged students of a particular college to expose their bare chest despite wearing a hijab, media reports said.
Professor Jauhar Munnavir, who teaches at Farook Training College in Kozhikode, was quoted by News 18, "I am a teacher of a college where 80% of students are girls and a majority of them are Muslims. Though they wear the hijab, they expose some part of their chest defeating the very purpose of wearing them."
"They expose, you know like how we cut a slice of melon to see whether it is ripe or not.”
Days after, a campaign 'Maaruthurakkal samaram' which literally means 'stir to bare the breasts' has started.
As a mark of protest, several women have started protesting by posting their pictures with their bare chests with watermelons against them on Facebook.
In the campaign, several women have shared their nude pictures.
