Karnataka Hijab

The hijab controversy has travelled to Rajasthan from distant Karnataka after a BJP MLA's visit to a school. The students hit the streets today protesting against his comments, and claimed they were also forced to raise religious slogans.

With the debate on the hijab issue continuously heating with each passing day, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has said that the government will take a decision after looking into the matter deeply.

As the hijab controversy flares up in Karnataka, former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai accused current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of hiding the failures of his government as well as raising the issue for only political gains.

The Karnataka government has not given any order to end the ban on wearing the hijab in educational institutions, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Saturday, a day after media reports claimed the hijab ban has been removed.

The Karnataka government on Friday announced it will soon withdraw the ban on wearing hijab. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said his government will withdraw the ban soon, adding that women can "wear anything they want."

In a move that can reignite the intense debate over hijab on campus, seven medicine students at a Kerala college have written to the principal, suggesting how they can strike a balance between following hijab norms and performing surgical duties.
