Kashmiri doctor facing bias at Kovai hospital: J&K students
COIMBATORE: The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association on Thursday wrote to CM MK Stalin seeking his intervention in an alleged religious discrimination against a Muslim doctor from Kashmir at a private hospital in the city. The letter said the 31-year-old doctor from Srinagar in Kashmir was allotted a seat for nephrology at a private medical college hospital in Coimbatore after the NEET-SS second counselling round conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). He was allegedly asked to shave his beard and sign a policy document that prohibited him from sporting a beard, a condition which he said contradicted his religious obligations as a practicing Muslim. The association further condemned the incident as a clear violation of the right to religious freedom. 'This incident threatens to tarnish that legacy and sends a disturbing message,' said Nasir Khuehanmi, national convenor of the association. The student, who did not wish to be named, told TNIE that he had approached the college for admission on June 17 and was forced to remove his beard. This forced him to return to Srinagar. 'They said it was the hospital policy. However, I went there for studies through counselling and not for a job interview. As I felt it would not be possible to continue the studies with this mental pressure, I returned to my native,' he said. Meanwhile, the hospital management said they have a protocol for staff and students which stipulates a clean shave. However individuals who follow religious beliefs are allowed to sport trimmed beard.

Kashmiri doctor denied admission at KMCH for refusing to shave his beard: J&K Students Association
Coimbatore: Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has sought Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin's intervention in an alleged case of religious discrimination at Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital (KMCH) in Coimbatore. In a letter to the chief minister on Thursday, the association's national convenor, Nasir Khuehami, stated that Dr Zubair Ahmad, a doctor from Kashmir who secured a DrNB (Nephrology) seat at KMCH through NEET-SS counselling, was denied admission for refusing to shave his beard, which he maintains as a religious obligation. Despite offering to cover his beard with a surgical mask and adhere to all hygiene protocols, the hospital insisted on a clean-shaven appearance, reportedly as part of its dress code. Unable to comply, Dr Zubair withdrew from the programme and has sought permission from the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) to participate in the next round of counselling and refund of his ₹2 lakh security deposit. The association condemned the policy as discriminatory and unconstitutional, citing Article 25 which guarantees religious freedom. It urged the chief minister to protect such freedoms in educational and healthcare institutions, reaffirming Tamil Nadu's legacy of inclusivity and social justice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không?

For all employees, we have a clean-shave policy. Those who wish to keep a beard must keep it trimmed, in accordance with their religious norms." "We have explained this to the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, clarifying that the student is expected to adhere to the grooming norms. We did not deny him admission — the decision now lies with the student," he said.
