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
