Karnataka ministers say students wearing hijab inside exam centers will face action- Education News

As the tenth standard examinations began, Karnataka Ministers said anyone violating the High Court ruling on hijab will not be permitted to write the tests. According to the Home Minister, anyone violating the rules would face action.

“Whoever violates the rule will face the action. We will not compromise on it. Everyone should obey the high court order. Students have to remove hijab and write the exam,” he said. Primary and Secondary Education Minister B C Nagesh too expressed his views on the same lines. “Police will naturally take action against anyone violating the government rules. I am confident that no child will give opportunity for such things,” he said. He asked the students to face the exams confidently without any fear.

Some Muslim girls had threatened to “boycott” the exams protesting against the ban on hijab, the Islamic headscarf, inside the exam centre. The full bench of Karnataka High Court had ruled that hijab is not an essential religious practice and everyone should abide by the uniform dress rule.
