New Delhi: The row over the use of hijab or headscarves by women in educational institutions had ripples in parliament today. In Bengaluru, the police banned gatherings and protests near educational institutions.
Under the order of the city police chief, any gathering, agitation or protests will not be allowed within a 200-meter radius of any school, college and other educational institutions for two weeks.
The Karnataka High Court, which is hearing petitions filed by five women from a government college in Udupi, questioning hijab restrictions, today referred the matter to a larger bench.
