A protest has erupted between students wearing saffron shawls and Hijab outside a college in Karnataka ahead of the high court hearing. The students were heard chanting Jai Shri Ram slogans.

On January 1, six Muslim students of a government Pre-University college in Karnataka's Udupi were barred from attending classes wearing a hijab. The college management cited a new uniform policy behind the reason for the ban. The issue has now spilled over to other government colleges in Udupi with several students protesting against a ban on hijab.
