Hijab row: Will go by Constitution, says K’taka HC; Hearing to resume at 3 pm

Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court today began hearing a petition on the hijab case in the state even as a protest erupted between students wearing hijab and saffron shawls outside a college campus.

“We will go by reason, by law, not by passion or emotions. We will go by what the Constitution says. The Constitution is the Bhagavad Gita for me,” the court said.

According to the latest update, the hearing on the hijab issue will resume at 3 pm today.
