WATCH: Who said what on Karnataka hijab controversy

  • 2 years ago
In December last year, some girl students started coming to a government school in Udupi district wearing Hijab, against the prescribed uniform norm. In protest against the violation of the dress code, a section of Hindu students also started coming to classes wearing saffron shawls. Even before the matter could be resolved, the hijab-saffron shawl controversy spread to more pre-university colleges in the state. The issue took a political turn with the political parties in the state indulging in mudslinging.
