A large number of girls, most of them wearing hijab, took to the streets here on Saturday condemning the authorities of a few educational institutions in the coastal districts of the State for barring hijab-clad students from entering the places of learning.
Led by Kaneez Fatima, MLA for Gulbarga North, the students took out a protest march on the major streets of the city raising slogans in the assertion of their rights to the choice of dress and staged a demonstration outside the district administrative complex. They expressed their condemnation by shouting against the college authorities who denied entry to the hijab-clad students.
