Mangalore: Protests have erupted in Mangalore after the Srinivas group of colleges banned the hijab on campus.
The college administration has sent out circulars to its students asserting that they cannot wear headscarves in class denying a basic religious rights.
"We have a uniform in our college. Second, third and fourth year students are following this. Present education year also we mentioned the same rules and regulations to students by the time of admission. But now first year students are opposing it. We have already discussed with parents that, we are not allowing head scarf. Parents agreed at the time of admission, but now they are protesting. We will solve this issue within 15 days," the Director of the college said.
Students have protested against the ban.
"Wearing hijab according to me does not affect our academics at all. I know he has issues with some people listening to music below the hijab. They disobey our religion. I want to request him to give us one chance and we will prove him wrong by obeying our religion because everyone is not like that," a student said.
