Hijab Campus Face-Off: All Eyes On Karnataka High Court Today

The Karnataka High Court is scheduled to resume Day 7 proceedings in the hijab row case today. The high court will hear the government's arguments in the ongoing hijab controversy. On Friday, February 18, Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi informed the high court that the College Development Committee (CDC) has been empowered to decide on the dress code in educational institutions. He said that the government will not interfere in this matter.

Meanwhile, former Actor Zaira Wasim has condemned the Hijab ban and said 'Hijab is not the choice but an obligation in Islam'. Karnataka Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah on Sunday attacked the Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai-led state administration and termed their order on uniform code, "a conspiracy to obstruct Muslim girls from getting an education."

“The [Karnataka] government could have solved this [hijab row] problem. If students can wear a turban, why can't students wear a hijab? Girls have been wearing them for a long time, there was no breach of peace then. Govt asking people to maintain peace is just drama," he said.

When the government asks in HC, 'why it was dragged into the case', it don't have to argue any further.

BJP is not interested in peace, middle and lower level people and development of the country. It is interested in the benefits of very few people, rich, corporates and its own party.

If hijab ban then the muslims girl will be at home its very baise nd sad . But then the love jihad will increase as only hindu girls will be in school nd colleges nd may be the girls or boy get attracted nd again love jihad will be taken place. Ek aur mudda abhi se shuru

World determine soon Indian democracy, its constitutional rule or not, by its up coming karnataka Court verdiction regarding hijab. U. K jurist are now more knowledge than the Indian judges.
For sensitive issues why they are deliberately delaying the verdiction .
I think that they now only studying the constitution...as it so it will take again long time

[tariqahmed]

👍👍👍Brave girls fighting for their rights, against religious intolerance and religious discrimination on muslims

[jm-ojiq]

Preacher from brothel... once American President John Kennedy said about Indian leader brahmin pundit nehru. Any Indian leaders never treated all people as equal even in nehru times. Nowadays most of the institutions including judiciary were controlled by sharmas, Varmas and Chatterjees, so there is no any hope for rights of minority people... It's the reality

Hijab zindabad

Judgement will be fair in their judgement. India Today channel speaking in favour Hijab Club. High Court verdict will disappoint Hijab Club.

[susheelpatel]

It can provide a simple solution n resolve the issue but as usual puppet in the hands of govt it makes it more complex n drag it for years to exploit political benefit out of it ⛽

[gulammustafakhan]

Judgement or not. Hijab will there in if court order ban it will still continue.

Who is stopping you from beard and skull cap ?
