High court verdict on Hijab ban will rule out Muslim girls’ education: NWF
Mangaluru: National Women’s Front, Karnataka’s State Secretary, Farzana Mohammed on Tuesday said that the unfortunate move by the Karnataka High court on Hijab ban in educational institutions will have long-term effects on women’s education.
Speaking at a press meet here on Tuesday, she said that the government has grounded itself under the Sangh Parivar ideologies instead of using constitutional measures in solving the issue.
“By giving way to Sangh Parivar’s propagandist notions, the government is neglecting women’s education altogether. This has led to an alarming state of insecurity among the Muslim community. Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court’s verdict on Hijab is a direct breach of constitution” he said.
She added that the recent verdict has further caused tense situation and has not only violated minority rights but also hurt their religious practices.
Further, she noted that NWF will support the community to move the case to the Supreme court.
NWF Chief Secretary Noushira, State Secretary Ramlat and district head Zuleika were present in the press meet.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.
Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.
A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
