In Karnataka, once again, the protest of the college students has come to the fore for not wearing the hijab.

However, they have been asked to submit another letter making some corrections.

After the submission of the letters of the girls, the college management will decide on issuing the certificate.

Let us inform you that a few days back, 6 girl students had tried to go to the college wearing hijab, but were not given entry.

Karnataka Hijab Row: Most of the Muslim girl students followed the guidelines.

Barring a few girl students, most of the 44 Muslim girl students studying in the college had attended classes earlier as per the guidelines.

After the declaration of II PUC results, admission to UG courses will start this week.

Mangaluru University Vice-Chancellor P.S. Yadapaditya had earlier announced that the university would make special provisions for Muslim girls who wish to join other colleges regarding the hijab rule.

Hundreds of students protested against Hijab.

Significantly, hundreds of students studying at the University College in Mangaluru city boycotted classes on May 26 to protest allowing Muslim girl students to wear hijab and attend classes.

The students had demanded that the college management should stop students from wearing hijabs in classes.

They expressed their anger against the college management for allowing hijab in classes despite the orders of the court and the government in this regard.

The controversy started over Hijab last year.

Let us tell you that the hijab controversy started last year as a protest by 6 students of Udupi Pre-University Girls College in Karnataka.

Which took the form of a major protest. After this, many students filed petitions in the High Court for wearing hijab in colleges.

The petition was dismissed by the Karnataka High Court.

After this, on the petition filed for permission to wear the hijab, the High Court constituted a special bench of three judges and heard the petition immediately.

However, a bench headed by Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi dismissed the petition filed by the students.

The court said that wearing a hijab is not a compulsory practice in Islam.

Subsequently, the Karnataka government issued guidelines for schools and colleges to make the uniform compulsory without allowing the hijab.
