As BJP looks to capitalise on hijab row, Congress defends Karnataka CM’s statement

IndiaTimes Monday, 25 December 2023
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's flip-flop on the withdrawal of ban on hijab in schools and colleges has raised concerns within the Congress party of minority appeasement. The BJP plans to fight a legal battle if the government withdraws its stand on banning hijab at the Supreme Court.

The CM's decision is seen as an attempt to reverse the previous government's ban on hijab, which the BJP argues was to ensure uniform implementation. Congress legislators defend the CM, emphasizing that their stand is to withdraw the ban on hijab.
