Petitioners said that screen of faith via clothes shows diversity and also distinguishing hijab breaches essential legal rights. Ghoongats are permitted, bracelets are allowed. Why just hijab? asked the petitioners. Here are the most up to date developments in hijab row.
Karnataka High Court heard the applications challenging the hijab ban in universities with petitioners making entries on the fourth day of the hearing. Senior supporters Ravi Varma Kumar and also Yusuf Muchhala suggested that display of religious beliefs with attire shows variety and also selecting hijab breaches fundamental civil liberties.
” Ghoongats (shrouds) are permitted, bracelets are allowed. Why only hijab?” asked the petitioners’ lawyers as they looked for an order enabling Muslim girls to go to classes again using hijab.
On the other hand, trainees as well as university authorities secured horns over hijab once again as Pre-University universities resumed across the state. Prohibitory orders are in effect in nine areas to stop any type of untoward event.
Here are the leading advancements in the hijab row:
WHY ONLY HIJAB, WHY NOT GHOONGAT, BANDANA?
Petitioners challenging the hijab ban made their entries, saying that hijab was being selected and Muslim students are being asked to pick between belief and also education and learning.
Elderly supporter Ravi Varma Kumar, appearing for petitioners stated, “Why is the federal government badgering hijab alone as well as making this aggressive discrimination? This is only because of her faith that the petitioner is being sent out of the classroom. A bindi putting on lady is not sent. A bracelet wearing girl is not. A Christian wearing a cross is not touched. Why just these girls? This is a violation of Post 15 of the Constitution.”
Ravi Kumar also claimed that Muslim women are least stood for in classrooms and also the federal government order on hijab is “heavy-handed”. “If they are shut out on the pretense of faith, it will be extremely severe,” claimed Advocate Kumar.
FAITH OR EDUCATION – HOBSONS’ SELECTION
Senior advocate Yusuf Muchhala, appearing for the petitioners, stated that Muslim students are being put to Hobsons’ option – a totally free option in which only one point is really supplied. They are being asked to pick between belief as well as education and learning. This violates basic legal rights, Supporter Mucchala said.
He included, “The objective of the Education Act is to promote harmony as well as not to develop dissent amongst students.”
The petitioners also increased issues over the MLAs in the University Growth Board (CDC) having administrative power, in this case, to choose the outfit code.

Till the issue is with court, students are enabled to go to courses without wearing any type of spiritual garments. The matter will be listened to once more tomorrow, February 17.
