"Police will naturally take action against anyone violating the government rules. I am confident that no child will give opportunity for such things," he said.
He asked the students to face the exams confidently without any fear. More than 8.74 lakh students have enrolled to appear for the exam in over 48,000 halls in 3,440 centres across the State. The last exam is on April 11. However, some Muslim girls had threatened to "boycott" the exams protesting against the ban on hijab, the Islamic headscarf, inside the exam centre.
The full bench of Karnataka High Court had ruled that hijab is not an essential religious practice and everyone should abide by the uniform dress rule. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai too said everyone should write the tenth standard exam and pass it. "I wish good luck to all the students. It is an important examination.
