BENGALURU: Opposition leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday afternoon, at the legislative assembly, urged the state government to allow the Muslim girls to wear "dupattas" and attend their examinations to ensure that they do not lose an academic year.
At the assembly, while debating on the law and order situation in the state, Siddaramaiah said that on Wednesday evening several Muslim clergymen met him along with a few minority legislators to impress upon him the need for the children to attend their exams, while at the same time not compromising on their faith.
