The hijab controversy forced Bharath PU College in Ullal to declare a holiday on Friday.

The college administration committee had asked Muslim girl students not to wear hijab as per the orders of the education department.

Students opposed the committee’s orders and said that they will only adhere to the court's final verdict. The committee even asked women lecturers of the college to remove the hijab.
