K'taka hijab ban removal: BJP strongly reacts to CM's decision, says raising concern about 'secular nature'

The BJP has strongly reacted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's decision to lift the ban on wearing hijabs in classrooms, saying it raises concerns about the "secular nature" of educational spaces.

Siddaramaiah on Friday said he has ordered the withdrawal of the ban, observing that choice of dress and food is personal.
