What is the whole matter?

 

Earlier this year, six girl students of a college in the Udupi district held a press conference alleging that they were not allowed to enter the classroom wearing hijab. After this, the dispute spread throughout the state. In protest against the hijab, many students started coming to school with saffron garlands. Seeing a growing controversy, schools and colleges in the state had to be closed. After this, the girl students filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court for permission to enter wearing a hijab. However, a larger bench headed by Chief Justice Rituraj Awasthi had dismissed the petition of the girls saying that wearing the hijab is not a mandatory rule in Islam. The court had directed the state government to ban the hijab and any clothing that can disturb the peace, harmony, and public order.
