No discussion on establishing separate college for Muslim girls: CM Bommai
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the government had not undertaken any discussion concerning the Wakf’s declaration about the establishment of a separate college for Muslim girls.
After paying tributes to the late Kengal Hanumanthaiah, on the occasion of the former Chief Minister’s death anniversary on Thursday, on the premises of the Vidhana Soudha, Bommai spoke to the media.
“This is not the stance of the government. There has been no discussion in this regard. The statements made by the Wakf board president is his take on the matter”, the chief minister informed.
The clarification comes in the wake of several online and offline discussions among social media users of the possibility of the government establishing a separate college for Muslim women following the Hijab issue that had clutched the state earlier this year.

Low visibility prevents PM’s helicopter from landing in Taherpur, Modi returns to Kolkata airport
Kolkata (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter failed to land at the Taherpur helipad in West Bengal owing to low visibility on account of dense fog in the area on Saturday, an official said.
The PM’s chopper made a U-turn after hovering over the helipad ground for a while and returned to the Kolkata airport, he said.
Till reports last received, the Prime Minister was waiting at the airport for further updates on the weather situation.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Modi would reach the rally venue district by road or whether he would wait for the weather to clear up and make another attempt to reach Taherpur by the aerial route, the official said.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister reached Kolkata at around 10.40 am and took a chopper onward to Taherpur in Nadia district, where he is scheduled to hold an administrative programme to launch highway projects in West Bengal, followed by a political rally of the BJP, titled Parivartan Sankalpa Sabha, which he is supposed to address.
