Hijab Verdict: Is there Karnataka Bandh tomorrow?

In a landmark verdict, the Karnataka High Court held that hijab is not an essential religious practice of Islam. The court upheld the state government's order banning the use of any cloth on the campus that could disturb peace, harmony and public order.

Expressing disappointment over the HC ruling, the Ameer-E-Shariat Karnataka, Maulana Sagir Ahmad Khan Rashadi has called for state-wide bandh on Mar 17.
