"Not Done Yet": Siddaramaiah's Clarification After Big Hijab Statement | Read

The Karnataka government has not given any order to end the ban on wearing the hijab in educational institutions, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Saturday, a day after media reports claimed the hijab ban has been removed. The ban by the previous BJP government on wearing the hijab had triggered protests. At an event in Mysuru yesterday, Siddaramaiah had said women can wear the hijab if they want. The comment led to speculation that the Chief Minister had ordered to scrap the ban.
