Karnataka (Karnataka) in the BJP government (BJP government) is considering a move to revise its order issued on February 5, which suggested that the hijab in government pre-university colleges (Hijab) Restrictions on the right to freedom of religion will not be infringed. Sources said amendments to the order issued by the state education department are being considered, but it may not be possible immediately as it has been challenged in the Karnataka High Court. The High Court had last week issued an interim order pending the pendency of petitions filed regarding the hijab controversy and prohibited students from carrying saffron gamchas, hijabs or any kind of religious mark in the classroom.
According to the Indian Express report, sources said that a meeting of the state cabinet under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is to be held on Friday and a decision can be taken on the hijab issue before the resumption of hearing in the case in the High Court. The BJP government is under pressure to withdraw its own order of February 5, which legalized the ban on hijab in pre-university colleges on the grounds that freedom of religion is subject to public order and wearing the hijab disrupts public order.
