After Karnataka’s home minister Araga Jnanendra said that religions should be kept away from education and ordered that students should neither come wearing Hijab nor saffron shawl to schools, an incident on hijab wearing students being denied entry into school had took place. The home minister further said that no one should come to school to practice their religion as this is where all students should learn together with a feeling of oneness.

As soon as the statements of the home minister made headlines, reports about a bunch of Hijab wearing school students being stopped at the gate by authorities at Kundapur Pre university College surfaced with visuals. The principal, reportedly asked the students to remove their head dress (hijab) in order to enter the class as they are not allowed to wear it inside campus.
When students argued that the order of government didn’t mention Kundapur college, the principal, reportedly said that the government’s order applies throughout the state. To protest against the girls who wear hijab, a day ago, 100 Hindu boys entered the school.

College authorities are in a fix as the decision to ban hijab was made by the college development monitoring committee, headed by MLA shetty. Meanwhile Karnataka highcourt is expected to hear a plea, filed by the student of the Uduppi pre university government college for girls seeking directions to allow muslim students to wear hijab to college.
Karnataka education minister BC Nagesh said that educational institutions must not become the warfield of two communities. “It is a sacred place and every student should feel equal. As it is now before the court, let us wait what comes out and the final result will be submitted and will be followed from the next academic year” he said.
Meanwhile, the incident created huge outrage in online mediums with people reacting to it in various ways. Check out some of the reactions below :

An official who shuts the gates on students who are begging to be allowed to study, does not deserve to be in the education field at all. https://t.co/9IN4pqgCbq

Shouldn’t stop girls from attending school. This is outrageous. The Administration should speak to the parents but stopping girls just before their exams is very unfair. #hijab https://t.co/CQpXB0m7u7
