In a relief to the Education Department of the Karnataka government, students insisting on wearing hijab have started to shun it and attend classes.
Sources said that it is a welcome development that could encourage other students to insist on wearing hijab to shun it.
Seven girl students, who were suspended from the Government First Grade College at Uppinangady in Dakshina Kannada district for insisting on wearing hijab, have submitted apology letters and started attending classes.
College principal Shekar M.D. has confirmed this and stated that the students are attending classes from Wednesday after the completion of their suspension period.
