People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL)-Karnataka has released its interim report on “Impact of Hijab Ban in Karnataka’s Educational Institutions” and demanded that the Karnataka government take adequate measures to “strengthen a secular and non-discriminatory learning environment within colleges.”
The organisation has demanded that the Chief Minister “decisively rescind the notification authorising the prohibition of wearing of the hijab and ensuring that such shocking violations do not recur.” The study report has contended that “a whole generation of young Muslim students right to education has been imperilled by the hijab ban.”
