There is an ongoing row over wearing hijab by some students at a government pre-university college in Karnataka. The hijab row that started in a college in Udupi spilled over to other schools across the district. A government college in Kundapura asked girl students not to come to college wearing hijabs.
Muslim girl students of the Kundapur PU college, who reached the institution wearing the hijab, were stopped at the gate by the principal.
