Karnataka Hijab Row Live News: Practice of wearing hijab must pass test of constitutional morality, AG to HC
Karnataka Hijab Controversy Live News: The hearing in the petitions challenging the hijab ban continued on Friday, day 6, in the High Court. Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi, while arguing on behalf of the state of Karnataka, said that the practice of wearing hijab must pass the test of constitutional morality and individual dignity outlined in Sabarimala verdict by Supreme Court. He said that the state government has taken the stand that the hijab does not come under the essential religious practices in Islam. He added that the state government has ordered that the students should wear uniforms prescribed by colleges and that the government does not want to intervene in religious matters. The hearing in the case will continue on Monday.
Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Friday said that state Minister KS Eshwarappa must resign over his remarks that the saffron flag might become the national flag in the future. He further warned the BJP government that if the minister is not sacked, Congress would move court besides continuing to disrupt the ongoing assembly session. The Congress had on Thursday staged an overnight protest in the Karnataka Assembly demanding minister Eshwarappa’s resignation. While Congress legislature party leader Siddaramaiah said that the party will continue its protest till the minister is sacked, Shivakumar said that no action has been taken against the minister for “disrespecting” the national flag.
