THE right to wear religious attire, the right to education and the right to equality — Opposition parties Saturday invoked these principles to criticise Karnataka colleges that have refused entry to students wearing the hijab.
While the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Left parties, RJD, NCP and the BSP argued that the Constitution guarantees citizens the fundamental right to practise their religion, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi struck a different note.
She said that school is a place for education and students should be students, not “religious brand ambassadors.”
