Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday took a U-turn, clarifying that the ban order on hijab has not been lifted yet. He had earlier said that his government will lift the ban on hijab in government-run educational institutions in the state. "We haven't done it (revoking Hijab ban) yet. Someone asked me a question (on lifting Hijab ban). I replied that the government is considering revoking it," the chief minister said. Wearing of Hijab (head scarf) was banned in educational institutions in the state during the BJP regime in 2022. ‘Wear What You Want’: Karnataka Hijab Ban to Be Withdrawn, Announces CM Siddaramaiah.
