The netizens expressed their anger over the inciden. They lashed out at the reporter for his totally insensitive and emphatic behavior.

Here’s what they had to say.

I feel really pity of that small girl as how she was running 😓🥺
That reporter has no empathy or any shame?
Please leave alone those small girls 🙏

This person should be sued for harrasing a minor.

Why not some body from Karnataka file FIR against this reporter, why only twitting.

This is not acceptable. Girls will not go school in fear of this kind of harassment.

Recently, Muskan Khan – a college girl from the Bangalore city of Karnataka state – bravely stood up against saffron-wearing extremists outside the educational institution for her right to wear the hijab.

The girl said that she had come to the college for submitting an assignment, adding that she was not being allowed inside just because she was carrying the burqa but somehow made her way inside.

The student started chanting Allahu Akbar in reply to the Jai Shri Ram slogans chanted by the mob.

Muskan Khan said wearing a hijab and burqa it is part of a Muslim girl but when she used to go to class she would only carry the hijab.

She revealed that she is not the only student to have undergone such an experience. She claimed that five women, who were told to remove it or else be sent back home, came crying to her.
