New Delhi: After Karnataka HC pronounced the verdict on the hijab ban in schools and colleges, Udipi students decided to approach Supreme Court and met, Anas Tanwir, a Supreme Court lawyer.

"Met my clients in Hijab matter in Udupi. Moving to SC soon In sha Allah. These girls will In sha Allah continue their education while exercising their rights to wear Hijab. These girls have not lost hope in Courts and Constitution," Anas tweeted.

In another tweet, the Supreme Court lawyer mentioned that the judgment given by the Karnataka HC is wrong and it has to be challenged in the apex court. "I always held that we should not have approached the Court in Hijab matter. However, that was done and inevitable has happened. All those abusing me for approaching SC should know that there's no other option now. The judgment is wrong and has to be challenged," reads his tweet.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court dismissed pleas challenging the hijab ban in educational institutions.
