Shireen Mazari on twitterShameful. I don't wear the niqab but I will defend everyone's right to choose to wear it. And if we believe in freedom of choice we must respect the rights of those who choose to wear the niqab. Prov Min of Education must take note of this incident at LGS. https://t.co/LhwXJsS1rb

This incident is not first but previously such types of incidents have occurred when a software house dismissed a Niqab-Wearing girl from her job on second day of his work in Karachi. At that time social media has also raised this incident and asked HR manager of software house to overview its decision about dismissing that girl.
