Cautioning against violation of child rights in the row over hijab, the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (KSCPCR) on Wednesday said several developments including the photographing of children against their wishes and sharing the same on social media amounted to violating the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act 2015.
In the event of any violation of child rights, Commission member Parashuram M.L., in a statement here, has called upon the public to call Child Helpline on phone number 1098 or call the Child Protection officer of their respective districts. The complaints can also be given to the special police units in their respective districts.
He noted with regret that certain sections were influencing the children to come out with provocative statements even when the High Court was seized of the matter.
