Karnataka government told the Supreme Court on Tuesday (Sep 20) that students were goaded into wearing hijab to school by radical Islamist organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) through a concerted campaign.

Pointing out that women are launching resistance movement against the hijab even in Islamic countries such as Iran, the Karnataka government informed the court that what unfolded in the state before some college development committees banned the hijab in their respective educational institutions was not “spontaneous” but “part of a larger conspiracy”.
