Chikkamagaluru: Dalit students turn up with blue shawls to support students wearing Hijab
Face-off between Jai Bhim - Jai Shri Ram slogans create brief tension at IDGS college
Chikmagalur: In opposition to the anti-Hijab protests that occurred in the premises of the IDSG College, students from the progressive Dalit organizations arrived at the college wearing blue shawls demonstrating their support for the students wearing the Hijab on Monday.
The students who arrived at the college wearing Blue shawls on Monday proclaimed slogans condemning the Sangh Parivar.
“The protests conducted by some students against the Hijab are politically motivated, and it is being done in a bid to snatch education opportunities from female students belonging to one community. The case related to Hijab is with the court, and until the decision from the court is out the status quo related to the Hijab must be protected. No opportunity must be given to play politics inside the college campus”, the protesting students demanded.
In front of the protests conducted by the students wearing blue shawls, the students wearing saffron shawls belonging to the ABVP organization showcased their protest. While both protesting parties shouted slogans against each other, a tense environment was created at the premise. The police reportedly arrived at the location and controlled the situation.
