In a meeting of the members of the college development committee and the parent teachers' association on Saturday, the principal Chandrashekar Kantamangala made it clear he would not snatch the right of Muslim girl students to wear scarf.

Some undergraduate and postgraduate students of Dr Shivaram Karanth Government First Grade College, Peruvaje, in Sullia have been coming to college since August 29 sporting saffron shawls. The students, who apparently vow allegiance to Hindutva groups, want the college to bar a lecturer and some Muslim girls from wearing a hijab on the campus.

Despite the advice of principal and other staff members to stop politicizing the scarf issue, the students backed by saffron groups have been continuing to wear saffron shawl in the campus.

Sullia MLA S Angara, who chaired the meeting held on the college campus on Saturday, left it to the principal and the staff members to resolve the issue. He asked the Principal to convene a meeting of lecturers and protesting students on Tuesday and resolve the issue.

While some parents having links with Sangh Parivar reportedly supported the conduct of protesting students, others expressed unhappiness over the demand. A holiday had been given on Saturday to students to avoid a possible commotion during the meeting.

Earlier, speaking to media persons Mr Kantamangala said that some students were being misled by political forces. “This college has been functioning for over two decades. I don't know why this issue cropped up in the college where a majority of students are from poor financial background.” He said there are a few students and a lecturer, who come to college wearing a headscarf.

Meanwhile, a former principal of the college said the college had been facing problems from Hindutva organizations, which are “interfering in the affairs of the college.”

Dear Brother K K. Acharya,
You have said well. We need more people like you from your community to talk fairly and boldly.

May God bless you Sir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dear Hindu brothers and sisters,
Try to learn at least few basics of few main religions around us.
First of religion means the way of our daily life from cradle to grave.

- Therefore the life to be lead as per the commandments of God but not as per our individual wish.
- Within the bounds and flexibility of the religion we can have our choices in dress, food and many other parts of life.
- As long as we don't transgress the bounds and norms of commandments of the God, everything is admissible.

The basic teaching of Islam
- Islam has come to this universe as Ultimate and the only Guide for humankind until the existence of this world. The God Almighty says this is the only acceptable religion.
- Therefore all the Muslims have been commanded to convey this religion to everyone, Unfortunately very few Muslims do this job and most of them don't do it. Therefore Muslims are held responsible for failing to do this job of conveying the truth. Muslims will face the consequences for their failure of non-compliance to the Creator's commandments.

- But it is not yet all allowed to IMPOSE BY FORCE.

If the people choose wrong faith, they are solely responsible with their CREATOR.

Very simple and straight command

Dears,
Muslim girls are wearing hijab as a part of religious requirement. No need to make your face red. Simple solution. You wear Red shawl & Hindu girls can wear orange scarf. Muslims will never oppose. Islam is a religion of Tolerance.

Why the hell you want to ban scarf? Let them wear. What you are going to lose? If you want ask your sisters and mother not to wear. But stop poking nose everywhere. You people are a major threat to peaceful Hindu religion. Hindus are ashamed of these saffron goons.
