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.
