Holidays for colleges
Muslim students wear hijab at Kundapura Government PU College, Udupi District. It was banned by the principal of the college. The students protested against this. In response, Hindu students also put on saffron. This led to a trend of religious conflict. Violence erupted during a protest by students on the 8th. This created tension in Karnataka. Holidays for high schools and colleges followed.
At the same time classes for children from 1st to 7th class are being held regularly. At this point, a 7th class Muslim student of Vidya Sagar Private School in Chandra Lay-out, Bangalore, came to class wearing a hijab. The class teacher who saw it was instructed to remove the hijab as the iCourt had ordered.
Parental argument
The student reportedly refused to accept this. Upon learning of this, the student’s parents came to the school and asked the teacher. Parents and relatives were involved in an argument with the school administration. Commenting on this, the management of the school said, “The student who was wearing the hijab was told about the interim order issued by the Karnataka High Court. We have no other motive behind it. “
But the student’s parents said, “The teacher misprinted the hijab on the blackboard. That is why he should be suspended. ” The issue created a tense situation at the school. Upon learning of this, the Deputy Director of Public Instruction went to the school in person. He held talks with the protesters and said that the iCourt order should be followed.
Exciting environment
He also promised that the parents’ complaint against the teacher would be investigated. A tense situation prevailed in the school as the parents struggled over the issue of hijab. It is noteworthy that the issue of hijab, which has been reported in the northern and coastal districts including Udupi, Sivamokkam and Davanagere, has now entered the capital Bangalore.
Teacher suspended
The student’s parents accused the teacher of misrepresenting the hijab on a blackboard at the school. The teacher was subsequently suspended. The order was issued by the private school administration. Sahabuddin, the father of one of the students at the school, said, “Hindu and Muslim students study together in this private school. Eighty percent of the students here are Muslims. There is no hijab issue here. ”
