Reacting to the incident, Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar said, "The situation in some educational institutions in Karnataka has become so bad that in one case the national flag was replaced with a saffron flag. I think the affected institutions should be closed for a week to restore law and order. Studies can continue online." Let us also tell you all that with the Karnataka High Court hearing the case on the Hijab controversy and the face-off between the students and the government over wearing Hijab, the protests have intensified. In fact, before the hearing in the High Court in Karnataka, a protest started outside a college between students wearing saffron shawls and hijab on Tuesday. At the same time, after stone pelting in Bagalkot, the protest turned violent and the police had to lathi-charge.
How the controversy started- In fact, the controversy about Hijab started in Karnataka when some girl students in Udupi were not given entry in the class because of wearing Hijab. In this case, the college said that if a uniform is applicable here, then people coming wearing a different dress will not be allowed to sit in the college. Those girls filed a petition against it in the High Court. In fact, those girls argue that not allowing them to wear hijab in this way is a violation of fundamental rights and is a violation of Articles 14 and 25.
