Bangalore: The High Court has given a major verdict on the hijab controversy that started in Karnataka. The High Court has held that the hijab is not an essential part of Islam. Therefore, it is not necessary to wear a hijab. With this, the Karnataka High Court has dismissed a petition seeking to wear hijab in class. Let us know that a petition was filed by the girls of Udupi in the Karnataka High Court. A bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice JM Khaji was constituted on February 9.

The girls had filed the petition demanding that they should be allowed to wear hijab even inside the classroom as it was part of their faith. The hijab controversy in Karnataka began in January. Here, in a government college in Udupi, suddenly six Muslim girl students wearing hijab had reached the college. The college administration had forbidden the girl students to wear hijab inside the classroom, but they did not agree. After this, the girls had lodged a protest against the college administration while holding a press conference. It was reported that, a few days ago, the controversial organisation Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) had a conversation with these girl students, after which these girls suddenly started demanding to wear the hijab in the classroom.  

The controversy over the hijab had erupted from Karnataka to the entire country. While everything was going well so far and the girl students were coming to school in uniform, after this controversy, Muslim girls in many parts of the country suddenly started demanding to wear the hijab. There were demonstrations in support and protest against the hijab in schools. At the same time, even before the verdict, Section 144 has been imposed in many districts of Karnataka in view of the possibility of violence.
