Muslim women in Karnataka are not being allowed to enter schools and colleges wearing hijabs.
We had released a video on this earlier you can go back and watch it.
In the latest update, the Karnataka High Court bench adjourned the hearing of the Hijab issue to February 14.
No interim decision has been made.
Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi has said that
schools and Colleges in Karnataka can reopen but remember
students cannot be allowed to wear any piece of clothing related to religions like Hindus, Muslim, Christians, etc.
that is religious till the court announces final decision.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai chaired a meeting on 10 Feb
and announced that high schools are open in the state from 14 feb 2022.
An announcement regarding the opening up of schools for classes 11 and above will be made later.
While addressing an election rally in UP, PM Modi commented on the hijab issue but on an indirect way.
PM Modi said, 'UP CM Yogi Adityanath is doing a fantastic job in supporting Muslim women.
When the BJP banned triple talaq for Muslim women, that time Yogi was very supportive of it.
PM Modi also said that, we have always supported Muslim women.
but the opposition always create problems and instigate the Muslim community against the BJP.
Such parties are instigating the community against the BJP due to the upcoming elections.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's son Adity Thackeray said that,
Religious items related to Hinduism, Islam, etc should not be brought at schools and colleges.
Wherever there is a uniform at schools, there should not be a place for any other dress other than that.
In public places students can wear what they want but in schools they must follow the uniform.
Political items related to parties like the Congress, BJP, Shiv Sena, etc.
will not be allowed in colleges as well.
Even religious items will not be allowed in educational places. In public places people can wear what they want.
These places are meant for education and the Shiv Sena as only one role and that is to provide top class education facilities at schools."
Many political parties are saying that Hijabs in schools and colleges must be allowed.
While many parties are disagreeing over this.
Some even say that by not allowing hijabs, many Muslim households may not allow their girls to get educated.
This may lead to more oppression of the Muslim women and have a negative imapact on their development.
The debate continues.
