BENGALURU: HD Kumaraswamy, former chief minister and JD(S) floor leader, appealed to the state government in the assembly on Wednesday to consider allowing Muslims to wear hijab (headscarf) of the same colour as that of their school or college uniforms.
While raising the issue, Kumaraswamy said the central government allows girl students in Kendriya Vidyalayas to wear hijabs and it had issued an order in 2012 in this regard. The state government should take a cue from it, he said.
