Udupi imbroglio over students wearing hijab to class continues

The issue has been going on since January 1. Six Muslim girls in Karnataka’s Udupi were barred from attending classes for wearing hijabs as it was against the uniform policies of the school.

The controversy around students of a pre-university college in Karnataka’s Udupi wearing hijab to classes is still going on. The meeting to sort out the issue had failed to bring any conclusion to the on-going controversy. Principal Rudra Gowda has called students along with parents to college as Assistant Commissioner of Udupi Dist will chair a meeting to discuss about the hijab issue. Yet, another day of hope of students to get their constitutional right to wear hijab.#UdupiStudentsNeedJustice pic.twitter.com/P2C3pG0NfA

The meeting between the students, parents, government officials and the school management was supposed to solve the issue of the Hijab row. According to those who attended the meeting that took place on Wednesday, January 19, no conclusion was reached.
