Shivamogga: A tense situation prevailed in Shivamogga following student protests at Sahyadri Science College premises seeking action against a girl student for posting a picture of the Pakistan flag in a study group on WhatsApp during a heated debate over hijab row.
The protesting students supported by ABVP have alleged inaction on part of college management against the girl student and have sought her dismissal from the college.
As per an IANS report, a BCA student from Chikkamagalur district had posted a message saying that hijab is her right in the WhatsApp group meant for online classes last month when the hijab row was at its peak. This led to a heated debate in the group. One of the students posted an Indian flag in the group and in response to that a Pakistani flag was posted.
The college authorities are saying that they are seeking a legal opinion on the issue. The university authorities have received a memorandum and promised the agitating students of suitable action on the student.
This incident comes as normalcy returned to Shivamogga district after sporadic incidents of violence following the death of Bajrang Dal activist Harsha last month leading to imposition of prohibitory orders for seven days in the district.
