This is how the controversy started
The controversy started in January last month. In a government college in Karnataka’s Udupi, six girl students were barred from sitting in a classroom for wearing hijab. The college said that wearing the hijab cannot be allowed under the new dress policy. Regarding this, the girl students have filed a petition in the High Court that stopping wearing the hijab is a violation of the fundamental rights given under Articles 14 and 25 of the Constitution. Hijab vs saffron has also started regarding this. In response to girl students wearing hijabs, some students started wearing saffron shawls on the college campus. The controversy, which started from Udupi College regarding this matter, gradually spread to some other educational institutions in the state as well.
Karnataka government and opposition face to face
Hearing is going on in the High Court regarding Hijab and Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has asked the girl students to follow the rules of the state government till the court’s decision in this matter. Under the Karnataka Education Act of the state government, rules have been made regarding uniforms. Regarding this issue, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee chief DK Shivakumar says that in some educational institutions, this matter has gone too far out of hand because in one case the national flag was replaced with a saffron flag. DK Shivakumar has suggested to continue online education by keeping the schools affected by the controversy closed for a week so that law and order can be maintained.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the closure of all schools and colleges affected by the controversy and to start online classes. He has called it necessary for the safety of the students.
