Incidents of stone-pelting and use of force by police were reported on Tuesday as the hijab row in Karnataka escalated and protests by students spread to more colleges prompting the state government to declare a three-day holiday for all educational institutions. Amid tension and violence at educational institutions in the state, the Karnataka High Court today adjourned, to Wednesday (today), the hearing of petitions on questioning denial of permission to hear hijab to classrooms by Udupi Pre-University College students and others for Wednesday. The single bench of Justice Krishna S Dixit also requested the student community to maintain peace in the state. The court will take up the matter today at 2.30 pm. As the Karnataka High Court and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai appealed to all students and people to maintain peace and calm, Primary and Secondary Education Minister BC Nagesh claimed that according to a report, the Campus Front of India (CFI) is said to have incited the hijab row, and this will be investigated. CFI is the student wing of the Islamic outfit Popular Front of India (PFI).from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/RE7gqvs
