UDUPI: Six students who have been boycotting classes since the last week of December were on Tuesday denied entry into the classroom after they refused to remove the hijab.
On Monday, the Government PU College for girls in Udupi had warned of punitive action if the protesting students do not begin attending classes from Tuesday, without the hijab. “There was police deployment on the campus.
We were told that we could enter the classroom only if we removed the hijab. We sat inside the campus till 1. 40pm. Several lecturers tried to tell us to give up our fight and attend classes,” said Almas, one of the students.
