Meanwhile, the High Court is currently hearing the petition filed by five women from a government college in Udupi, questioning hijab restrictions.
Talking about the Hijab protest, the protest began last month at the Government Girls PU college in Udupi when six students alleged that were not allowed in classes because they were wearing headscarves. Later on, the Right-wing groups in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru objected to Muslim girls wearing the hijab to class.
