 ‎’CFI started the hijab row’

Raghupati Bhat said that it was the CFI that had started the hijab controversy. For over 20 years, the students at the Government Womens’ College adhered to the uniform policy. This year too many girl students from the Muslim community have taken admissions at the college, he said and added that CFI is directly responsible if any girl student is deprived of education due to the hijab row.
