Later on 5 February 2022 the Karnataka government issued an order banning the wearing of hijab in colleges. Two petitions have also been filed in the High Court after Muslim girls were barred from wearing hijab in some colleges in Karnataka. On 8 February 2022, in the Indian state of Karnataka, the controversy over the wearing of hijab by Muslim students intensified, after which the state government announced the closure of high schools and colleges for the next three days.
