The controversy started in January
Let us tell you that the protest against Hijab in Karnataka started in January this year. When some girl students of Government Girls PU College in the state's Udupi district alleged that they were barred from attending classes. During the protest, some students claimed that they were denied entry to the college for wearing the hijab. After this incident, students of various colleges reached Shanteshwar Education Trust in Vijayapura wearing a saffron stole. The same situation was also seen in many colleges of the Udupi district. However, a circular was issued by the Board of Pre-University Education. In which it was said that the students can wear only the uniform approved by the school administration and no other religious practices will be allowed in the colleges.
