Students stage demonstration against ‘hijab’ verdict
The Hindu
A group of students of Jamal Mohammed College here on Wednesday staged a demonstration against the verdict of the Karnataka High Court that upheld the ban on wearing of hijab by students in schools and colleges.
The students, who gathered near TVS Tollgate, said that wearing hijab was a religious right of the Muslims and the verdict went against the secular fabric of the country and the Constitution.
They urged the Central government to ensure the rights of minorities and file an appeal against the Karnataka High Court verdict in the Supreme Court.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
