Shivamogga, Feb 4: After a college here lifted a controversial dress code that had been in force since the start of the current academic year, a group of students supported by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest on Friday in the college premises demanding the code continue to remain in effect.
Cops led by Shivamogga SP Abhinava Khare, however, managed to quell the agitation.
An affiliate college of Kuvempu University, Sahyadri Science College imposed the dress code following a directive from the varsity. Similarly, the decision to lift restrictions on the sartorial choice of students too came from the varsity's registrar.
Trouble started around a month ago when a few ABVP activists demanded the college authorities to impose ban on Muslim girls' hijab or headscarf.
Although college authorities did not object Muslim girls' headscarf, a group of male students started coming to college sporting a saffron shawl, in protest against the girls wearing the headscarf.
Taking cognisance of the controversy, the varsity decided to lift the dress code from Friday. Those who protested on Friday said that they would continue to wear a saffron shawl till the college enforced the dress code.
Sahyadri Science College principal H Shakuntala said, "It was the university's decision. I cannot comment on the issue."

Such protest 100% reflecting on their parents and backing politicians image and intention. More ever the patriotism. How they respect our great nation INDIA and our constitution. All their behaviors communal mind sets are coming out only after rss led bjp government rule. For the past 70years all went peacefully.
Jai Hind!
