Udupi: The three science stream students among the Hijab-wearing students who had approached High Court reportedly did not attend the 2nd PUC Maths examination held on Saturday. 

Reportedly, Udupi Government Girls Pre-University College students Almas A. H, Hazra Shifa, and Ayesha Pallavkar did not attend the examination. Among them, Almas had reportedly gone to the college on Friday evening and collected her hall ticket. However, the two other students did not go to collect the hall tickets even on Saturday morning, it is learned. 

Although Almas collected her hall ticket, she found that she would not be allowed to write her exams wearing the Hijab, and due to this reason, she did not arrive at the Udupi Vidyodaya Pre-University college examination centre to write the exam. Therefore, the three students have been absent from the exam hall on Saturday. 

Second PUC Commerce stream students Aliya Assadi and Resham had arrived at the examination centre on Friday evening to write their exams but were forced to return when they were not allowed to do so wearing the Hijab, it is learned. 

In the background of this, the Udupi MLA Raghupati Bhat had issued a warning on Friday that if these students arrived at the examination centre on Saturday and did their ‘drama’, then a criminal case would be filed against them. 

Aliya Assadi Tweets

Aliya Assadi took to Twitter on Friday in this regard and posted, “Today, I and Resham Farooq were denied from appearing for exams wearing hijab. Again and Again, we face disappointment! Raghupathi Bhat had threatened us with criminal cases against us if we go to attend exams tomorrow. What is the crime here? Where is our country headed to!”, she expressed.
