Let us tell you that the hijab-saffron scarf controversy is increasing in the colleges of Karnataka. Meanwhile, many videos from colleges in many areas of the state are also coming out on social media. In this episode, on Tuesday morning, a similar video surfaced on social media from a college in Karnataka in which a student wearing a hijab was surrounded by several boys wearing saffron scarves in a college in Karnataka. It can be seen in the video that the boys are continuously shouting slogans of Jai Shri Ram when the girl wearing the hijab starts shouting slogans of Allah Hu Akbar.
By the way, let us tell you that this matter has now reached the Karnataka High Court. The hearing in the matter was held on Tuesday. The Karnataka High Court is hearing petitions by five women of a government college in Udupi questioning the hijab ban. The hearing in this matter will continue on Wednesday as well.
The hijab issue started last month at the Government Girls PU College in Udupi after six students alleged that they were barred from attending classes for wearing headscarves. In Udupi and Chikkamagaluru, some students objected to Muslim girls wearing hijab and started attending classes wearing saffron scarves. After this, the controversy which started from Udupi has started spreading to other colleges of the state as well.
