Karnataka hijab row: Four girls refuse to appear for practical exam in Dakshina Kannada
After four girls of Melkar Women’s PU College in Marnabail in Bantwal taluk played truant for the crucial practical examination, which they were to appear for at the SVS PU College, officials of the department pre-university education in Dakshina Kannada confirmed that their absence was owing to the ongoing row over the right to wear the hijab. Although the exams were held last week, the girls’ absence and the reason behind the same were revealed only recently.
