Kundapur: Protesting against students wearing Hijab to college, students turn up with saffron scarfs
Kundapur: Marking their protests against Muslim students wearing Hijab to the college, several students at Government Junior College Kundapur, turned up wearing saffron scarfs around on Wednesday, triggering controversy.
Taking note of the incident, Kundapur MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty arrived at the college and held a meeting with the parents of Muslim students.
The parents reportedly told the MLA that it is their right to wear Hijab and it was not right to interfere in their religious matters. “Our students are not wearing Burkha but are only wearing Hijab. It is not good to bring religion among the students in the educational institution,” they said.
“If you don’t want our students to wear Hijab in the college, let the Principal give written instructions for the same, and then we will decide whether to send our students to the college or not,” they added.
The MLA stated that they will initiate action against those wearing Hijab and Saffron scarfs to the college, but the meeting ended without any conclusive decision being taken.
