‘We’re being observed internationally, not a good devp’, Karnataka HC on Hijab row

Bengaluru: With the Hijab row snowballing into a major controversy, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday said the international community is observing us and it is not a good development.
The hearing in the matter will resume after lunch.
A bench headed by Justice Krishna S. Dixit said: “For me, Constitution is Bhagvad Gita. We have to act according to the Constitution. I have come to this position after taking oath on the Constitution. The emotions on the issue should be set aside. Wearing a hijab should not become an emotional issue.” It also observed that the government has to answer many questions on the issue.
“I am getting messages from innumerable numbers. The whole WhatsApp chat is filled with this discussion. The institutions can only work as per the constitution. The government can give orders, but people can question them,” the bench noted.
“The government can’t come to decisions on surmises,” it said.
