KOPPAL: Amid the raging halal row with some right wing organisations asking Hindus not to use halal meat during ‘Hosa Tadaku’ festival in the state, Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra on Thursday said intellectuals who give sermon on secularism should teach those who did not respect the Constitution and honour the court verdict on hijab.
The minister’s comment came as a section of Muslims had called for a statewide bandh against the Karnataka high court verdict on hijab, which dismissed the petition of Muslim girl students from Udupi Government Girls’ Pre University College, who wanted the head scarf to be allowed along with the school uniform inside classrooms.
