Mangaluru, Sep 22: A fresh development in Dr K Shivarama Karanth Government College in Bellare, Sullia taluk, has hinted at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's direct involvement in the anti-hijab agitation launched by a group of students nearly a month ago.
For past two days, the saffron clad students of the college have been reportedly conducting Sangh Shakha' or the daily meetings of RSS within the college premises. According to sources, over 50 students with saffron shawls have been taking part in such activities.
Chandrashekar Kantamangala, the principal of the college, has confirmed that such activities have been going on since Tuesday. “This is a matter of concern. I am currently on leave as I am not well. I will soon return to the college and take necessary action,” he said.
On the other hand, one of the students who has been at the forefront of the saffron shawl protest against hijab, rubbished reports of Shaka activities on campus. "On Tuesday, we organised a prayer to pay homage to the Uri martyrs, after which we sang patriotic songs. It was not a Shaka activity," he said.
Affirming that their protest would continue till students stopped wearing hijabs inside the campus, he added, "Now, even girls have started wearing saffron shawls over their dress."
The college, which also offers post-graduation courses, boasts a total of 495 students. Among them only a couple of dozen students are Muslims and a majority of them are girls.
Some undergraduate and postgraduate students of the college have been sporting saffron shawls since August 29. The students, who apparently vow allegiance to Hindutva groups, want the college to bar a lecturer and some Muslim girls from wearing a hijab on the campus.
Earlier this month a meeting was convened in the college in the presence of Sullia MLA S Angara to find an amicable solution to the problem. Representatives of the students, lecturers and all stakeholders had participated. However, agitation continued even after the meeting.
In a press statement Mr Angara had suggested that those seeking admission to the college would have to follow a 'uniform' code, while those not willing, would be denied admission. "We cannot enforce a dress code within college premises since it is a government institution," Mr Kantamangala said.

Carry on brothers But Victory will always be OURS.In sha allah.We are not at all worried about this because we are the true followers of Prophet Muhammed pbuh.
Unfortunately the Safronists are using children.
Muslim girls are using Hijab as their religiously bound part of dress code, They also look very respected and decent.
It is their choice to wear,
If you people want to use it, you can also use. If you don't want it is upto you. But you don't have right to talk about other's personnel matters.
May God give wisdom to these corrupt brains.
Naren n Viren at least be ashamed of the dislikes on your filthy comments......
You are right Mr. Kotian. Godse was also wearing saffron color shawl which he mercilessly killed Father Mahatma Gandhiji. It is not wonder you and your chelas are wearing Saffron shawl as you are of the same group which the murderer Godse belong. You are not interested in agitating the bull shit Acharya who had fixed cctv camera in Ladies toilet of Mangalroe university becoz he belongs to your terrorist organisation. The day will come when public will kick you out. There is a limit for every thing and you are trying to cross the limit due to support of selfish politicians who are using you as a dumb and dead pawn.
Ha ha......saffron's........
No one cares for you chillar pillas....Islam is growing..you still are minorities based on world population.....right.....
Saffron is the symbol of pride and sacrifice. head scarf or hijab is the symbol of subjugation. It also represents pakistan, the enemy of India. These factors are enough to take a bold decision for people with common sense.
These are all C grade students who's future lies in Bajrang Dal/VHP and BJP. They are just trying to build their career. Let them do. A day will come when people start ignoring them and their own children will start mocking them.
