While the Hijab controversy still in the air, a student of a government PU college was stopped by authorities for having kumkum on his forehead. The incident took place in the government PU college in Indi in Vijayapura district.
As per reports, the student was stopped by the college authorities and was asked to wipe off the vermillion. As news spread, Bajarang Dal activists staged a protest outside the college shouting slogans against the college and its teachers.
The founder of Sri Rama Sene Pramod Mutalik lashed out at the college authorities and said kumkum is not a religious symbol but a part of the culture of the country. He said that it cannot be banned as per the Education department circular.
Various Hindu organisations have condemned the incident that happened within a state where BJP is the ruling party.
