No saffron shawls to be allowed in schools: K’taka CM

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah prohibits saffron shawls in schools, allowing existing religious and cultural practices alongside prescribed uniforms. Saffron shawls are not permitted, while turbans, sacred threads, rudraksha, and hijab can be worn. The decision aims to maintain existing uniform policies and equality among students, amidst criticism from the BJP and concerns over introducing religion into educational spaces.
