Udupi, Jan 1: “Religious discrimination is being followed at the government PU college by refusing admission to students wearing Hijab,” alleged Campus Front of India (CFI) Karnataka state committee member Masood Munna.

Speaking in a news conference held at Durga International Hotel, here on Saturday, January 1, he said that CFI Udupi district committee severely condemns the religious discrimination at the college. “CFI will sit in protests in front of the college if the college refuses permission for students wearing Hijab,” he said.

“A request in this connection was submitted to the deputy commissioner and DDPI who had assured of solving the problem. But the student has been sent out of the class for the same reason. The college principal should be suspended and action should be taken against the lecturers who do not mark the attendance of the student. We warn of violent protests if the college does not stop the practice and provide justice to the student,” he said.

Student Almas said that they will not stop wearing Hijab at any cost. “The college administration should permit us to wear the Hijab,” she said.

District president Aseel Akram, Campus front of India Udupi Zam Zam district vice president, students Alia Asadi, Almas, Ayisha and their parents were present in the press conference.
