Karachi (Pakistan Point News – 24th November, 2018) A school in Karachi is punishing a Class 1 student for she has the color of Mehndi on her hands.
The father of the six-year-old girl took to Facebook to share how the school administration has been torturing the child for wearing Mehndi.
“My 6yr old daughter, student of Class 1 is being punished on daily basis due to henna (mehndi) color on her hands which she put on 11th Rabiul Awwal.”
The punishment given by the school includes no participation is assembly, mental harassment by scolding her before joining the class, no breaks and daily notice both verbally and on-diary.
The father wrote that when her daughter comes back home, she doesn't share with them but her face impression is totally changed when they see the diary. She starts weeping that she does not want to go to school next day.
“I have no option to cut-off her hands from her body as I am unable to remove the henna from those small and sensitive hands,” he further wrote.
Such a punishment is raising a question upon the education system of Pakistan which is imposing unnecessary punishments on students, affecting their mental health.
