Preventing entry to colleges is violation of fundamental right, says leader of opposition in Karnataka
Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah said that denying entry to colleges to Muslims girls for wearing hijab is a violation of the fundamental right to education under the Constitution. He pointed out that the Karnataka Government’s circular has not made wearing uniform compulsory in government pre-university colleges.
The former Chief Minister defended Muslims girls attending classes wearing hijab, saying, “They have been wearing it from the beginning. It’s a fundamental right.”
