Education Minister, Home Minister should take responsibility for instigating Hijab row: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday called on the state’s Education Minister and Home Minister to take complete responsibility for instigating the Hijab row.
He added that it was unfortunate that those responsible for resolving the issues are instigating students to make it worse.
Siddaramaiah made a series of tweets and slammed the BJP government in the state for letting the situation go out of control while it could’ve been resolved harmoniously at the local level. He also said the situation was concerning and the schools and colleges in the state were turning into battlefields.
Stating that the BJP politicized the issue and was now clueless about how to bring the situation into control, Siddaramaiah demanded the intervention of CM Bommai and said he should declare holidays to all the schools and colleges where the conflict has been raised, keeping the security of the students in mind.
