Uproar over hijab continues: ban on gathering of people inside 200 meters of schools and colleges in Bangalore, High Court sends case to larger bench

The Karnataka government has banned the gathering of people within 200 meters of all educational institutions, including schools, colleges, in Bengaluru in the wake of the hijab controversy. This restriction will continue for the next two weeks. Karnataka Police said that this order will come into force with immediate effect. Earlier, the state government had ordered the closure of all schools and colleges for three days.

Here, no decision can be taken on this dispute in the Karnataka High Court for the second consecutive day. The matter was referred to a larger bench on Wednesday. While hearing the case on Tuesday, the court had said that it will not decide on the basis of anyone’s feelings, but on the basis of law.

On Tuesday, students pro-hijab and saffron came face-to-face in Karnataka.

When a girl was seen shouting ‘Allah-hu-Akbar’ slogans on the college campus in Mandya, Karnataka on Tuesday, the students responded with Jai Shri Ram. Now the politics in this matter has deepened. Priyanka Gandhi has said that girls have the right to wear anything, be it bikini or hijab. At the same time, AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has supported the hijab. Earlier, Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai had said that it is not right to remove women from education because of their dress. Let us know one by one who said what on this issue…

Owaisi said – with the sisters fighting for the right of hijab
During an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal, Owaisi said, ‘I pray that the sisters fighting for the right to wear hijab in Karnataka are successful. The Constitution is being mocked in Karnataka. I condemn this decision of BJP government.

Slogans of ‘Allah-Hu-Akbar’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram’ not allowed in the campus
The statement of the Education Minister of Karnataka has come to the fore in this matter. State Primary and Secondary School Education Minister BC Nagesh said on the controversy, “Students in Mandaya did not want to gherao the girl who raised slogans of Allah-hu-Akbar. When she was raising slogans, no one was around the girl. So who instigated him? We cannot promote the slogans of ‘Allah-Hu-Akbar’ and ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in the college.’

Karnataka Education Minister says religious slogans cannot be allowed in college campus.

Lalu Yadav said – the country is moving towards civil war under PM Modi’s rule
RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s statement on Karnataka hijab controversy has come to the fore. Lalu said that the country is heading towards civil war under PM Modi. They are not talking about inflation, poverty but about Ayodhya and Varanasi. The desperation of the BJP shows that they will lose the UP elections. They are talking only about riots and temples. 70 years ago our ancestors forced the British to leave the country but now the British have come back in the form of BJP… We support SP in UP elections.

Hema Malini said – Wear whatever you want outside the school
BJP MP from Mathura Hema Malini on Karnataka Hijab controversy: Schools are for education and religious matters should not be brought there. Every school has a uniform which should be respected. You can wear whatever you want outside of school.

Priyanka said – girls wear bikini or hijab, it is their right
On the other hand, a day before voting in Uttar Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi has written with the hashtag ‘Girl Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon’ that women have got the right to decide their dress in the Constitution. They should not be bothered about this. Priyanka tweeted- The constitution gives women the right to decide their dress. She can wear whatever she wants…be it bikini or veil, jeans or hijab..Stop harassing women.

Karnataka’s Energy Minister said – Congress will make Hindus wear hijab
Karnataka Energy Minister Sunil Kumar has targeted the Congress over the Hijab controversy. Sunil Kumar said, ‘If Congress comes to power, it can make such a law, in which Hindus will be asked to wear hijab. Yesterday also Congress’s DK Shivakumar made false allegations that the flag was removed from the school. Siddaramaiah and Congress should come out of such mentality.

Keshav Prasad Maurya said – behind the controversy, the people of Congress
Politicians from Uttar Pradesh to Madhya Pradesh are also giving statements in the Karnataka dispute. UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has said that such disputes are deliberately done by the people raised by the Congress party. The case of Karnataka is only about following the dress code in the college. It is being forced.

Kamal Haasan said – Trying to build a religious wall between students
Kamal Haasan has also expressed concern over the ongoing hijab controversy in Karnataka. He tweeted – What is happening in Karnataka is causing unrest. A wall of religious poison is being erected among the students. What is happening in the neighboring state should not come to Tamil Nadu. The time has come for the progressive forces to be more careful.

Controversy started from Udupi spread across Karnataka
The controversy over the hijab started in Udupi, Karnataka on January 1, after which protests started in many districts including Shimoga. The Congress has demanded that all the schools where this controversy is taking place should be closed for a week.

How did the Hijab controversy start?
28 Muslim girl students of Kundapura College in Karnataka were stopped from attending class wearing hijab. Regarding the matter, the girls had filed a petition in the High Court saying that hijab is mandatory in Islam, so they should be allowed it. These girls had also started dharna sitting in front of the college gate.

The girls were protesting at the college gate in protest against not being allowed to wear hijab in the classroom.

In response to the girls wearing the hijab, some Hindu organizations asked boys to wear saffron shawls on the college campus. At the same time, in Hubli, Shri Ram Sena had said that those who are demanding burqa or hijab can go to Pakistan. The question was also raised that by wearing the hijab, is an attempt being made to make India Pakistan or Afghanistan?

In protest against the hijab, Hindu organizations had asked students to come to the college wearing saffron gamchas.
