"You must tell your mothers, sisters and daughters to wear a dupatta," he says in the video’s introduction in local language and goes on to stress that "this isn’t a prank, it is a message."
He starts off the video by paying money to girls walking out of the university asking them to buy a headscarf and start wearing it.
