No discussion on establishing separate college for Muslim girls: CM Bommai
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the government had not undertaken any discussion concerning the Wakf’s declaration about the establishment of a separate college for Muslim girls.
After paying tributes to the late Kengal Hanumanthaiah, on the occasion of the former Chief Minister’s death anniversary on Thursday, on the premises of the Vidhana Soudha, Bommai spoke to the media.
“This is not the stance of the government. There has been no discussion in this regard. The statements made by the Wakf board president is his take on the matter”, the chief minister informed.
The clarification comes in the wake of several online and offline discussions among social media users of the possibility of the government establishing a separate college for Muslim women following the Hijab issue that had clutched the state earlier this year.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
