Kolkata: <\/b><\/p>\n
Kolkata-based AJC Bose College students described their principal’s instruction to sign an affidavit with the declaration that they will not wear torn or artificially torn jeans to college as a diktat interfering with their freedom of expression.<\/p>\n
Students said they were “upset” with the college authorities and that such a move was unwarranted.<\/p>\n
“We are upset with the principal’s order. This is a diktat and interferes with our freedom to dress,” Ajay Sinhotra, a student of the college, said.<\/p>\n
Another student Rimmi Jamal said, “People should be allowed to wear ripped jeans. I protest against such an order.” Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose College principal Purna Chandra Maity said students “must wear normal civil dresses” and he would allow any indecent outfit.<\/p>\n
The affidavit that students were asked to sign said, “Having been admitted to Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose College, I will never enter inside college premises wearing torn\/artificially torn jeans or any kind of indecent dress. I do hereby affirm that I shall wear normal civil dresses during my study period inside the entire college premises.” Incidentally, last year a similar advisory was issued for students and staff of the same college asking them not to wear torn or distressed jeans.<\/p>\n
The principal said the move to sign the affidavit was “to enforce strict discipline in the institute”.<\/p>\n
