In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on the ‘The Hijab Row’. Karnataka is witnessing a huge uproar over the insistence of some Muslim girls to wear hijab in schools and colleges. The controversy erupted after a college in Udupi refused permission to Muslim girls for wearing hijab in classrooms citing the dress code that was in effect for students. After a five-day break to cool tensions over the hijab ban controversy, high schools reopened in Karnataka on Monday. As a precautionary measure, the police in Udupi and Mangaluru has imposed prohibitory orders near campuses for six days till Saturday. Section 144 of CrPC has been clamped around 200-metre radius of all the high schools from Monday till February 19. Karnataka High Court resumed the hearing on this matter on Monday. Last week in an interim order the Karnataka HC had restrained students — regardless of their religion or faith — from wearing saffron shawls, scarves, hijab and religious flags in classrooms until further notice.
