District Magistrate Kurma Rao M had yesterday announced that all schools and colleges in the district would remain closed on March 15.

 

How did the controversy start?

 

Let us tell you that this controversy started after wearing a hijab in a college in the Udupi district. In a college, some girls came wearing hijab, due to which they were stopped from sitting in the class. The issue of being barred from wearing the hijab gained momentum. Protests were also held in many places regarding this.

 

Karnataka High Court case

 

The girls had filed a petition in the High Court regarding the matter. The girls had demanded permission to enter the classroom wearing hijabs. Muslim girl students had said during the hearing that the hijab is not a part of religious tradition, but it shows their faith in religion, due to which hijab should not be seen about religion. The hearing in the case was completed last month.

 

State government's argument

 

During the hearing in the High Court, arguments were also given on behalf of the state government. The government pointed out that the hijab is not a necessary part of religious tradition. The government had said that religion should be kept away from educational institutions. The government says that Muslim girl students can come to the school compound wearing a hijab, but wearing a hijab cannot be allowed inside the class.
