'We Support Hijab-Clad Women in Karnataka': Kashmiri Youth Stand in Solidarity

On 13 February, women from Budgam district staged a peaceful protest over the hijab ban.

The Karnataka hijab row began after the management of a pre-university college in Udupi barred six Muslim girls from attending classes while wearing headscarves.

The management said that their attire went against the prescribed norms of the institute. Since the incident, massive protests have been held across the state in support of these Muslim students. Its ripples were felt in Kashmir as well.
