Hyderabad: Call it lack of understanding of rules or ignorance , staff working in Aadhaar enrolment centres have been reportedly insisting women applicants to remove hijab or scarf while completing biometric formalities. Sakina Fatima, a resident of Masab Tank faced such problem when she visited Aadhaar centre at Karvy, Banjara Hills few days ago.
Even though she argued that many of her family members and relatives took Aadhaar cards earlier with hijab on, the staff at the centre did not pay heed to her. They did not process her application eventually. She did not give up and visited the same centre the following day and spoke to the centre in-charge showing him rules and guidelines prescribed on Aadhaar website. Later, they gave in and took her picture with full hijab.
To her astonishment, the staff at the centre kept asking other women to remove their scarfs even after she made them aware of rules. When she confronted the staff, they asked her to leave the place as her application was already processed. The fumed lady appealed to the authorities to take note of the hardships faced by her.
