Bangalore: A Muslim student has now moved to the Karnataka High Court after the hijab was banned in a Karnataka college. Filing a petition in the court, the Muslim student said that her college was favouring her and other Muslim girls and preventing them from entering the college wearing hijab and taking classes.
The petitioner said the Karnataka government's PU college is located in the Udupi district, where Muslim girls were prevented from coming to the class wearing hijabs. According to the petition, the college has also barred Muslim girls from entering the campus wearing hijabs. Citing the rights enjoyed in the Constitution, the Muslim student has placed her demand before the court. They also said that the way they were shown differently, it will affect not only their mental health but also their future.
In her petition, the student spoke of fundamental rights in the court citing Sections 14 and 25. They said that the hijab is an essential part of Islam. It said that under Article 25(1) of the Constitution, it is protected that they are completely free to profess, practice and propagate their religion. The petition said "By preventing women who follow Islam from wearing the hijab, there is a change in the character of Islam. That is why wearing the hijab is an essential and integral part of Islam.''
