Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aseefa Bhutto Zardari was on Tuesday unmoved with the announcement by Punjab Higher Education Minister Raza Ali Gillani that five extra marks will be awarded to women doing Hijab in college.
Aseefa asked what the boys will do in such a scenario. She also asked what the students from minorities do about it. “Why does wearing a Hijab impact grades/marks?” was her question.
