The Hijab Row is taking a new turn every hour. Now the Kundapura govt PU College in Udupi, Karnataka has ruled that those girls wearing hijabs would be given a separate room by the college administration where they could sit.
However, as far as attending classes is concerned, they could only do so in mandatory uniform and remove their hijab.
Mohandas Shenoy, the spokesperson for the PU College Development Committee, told the media that the 135-year-old college could no longer be publicly humiliated because of a frivolous controversy.
‘Latest visuals’ from the college shared by ANI showed some students wearing not ‘hijab’ but the full-body black burqa inside the campus.
While speaking, Shenoy urged parents to support the college administration by fulfilling their responsibilities, and students to adhere to the institution’s dress code.
Incidentally, the police has apprehended two people in the area. Rajab and Haji Abdul Majeed are said to be carrying firearms. Three more suspects are being sought by the police.
Since early January, the state has convened a committee to evaluate the matter and make a judgment.
