Pakistani social activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai have also entered the hijab controversy that started from Udupi, Karnataka. Malala described the controversy through social media as horrific and appealed to Indian leaders to stop marginalizing Indian Muslim women.

The controversy over the hijab started in January
The hijab controversy in Karnataka started in January. In Udupi's Government PU College, 6 Muslim girl students were barred from attending class wearing hijab. The college management had cited the new uniform policy as the reason. After this, some girls filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court. The girls argue that not allowing them to wear the hijab is a violation of their fundamental right under Articles 14 and 25 of the Constitution.

Hearing in High Court again today
