As per news report of NDTV, As two groups stood at the gates of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial (MGM) college in Udupi, a large number of policemen tried to control the chaos. Students wearing saffron, who were already in the college, shouted slogans of "Jai Shri Ram" while the college administration looked on. Young women in hijab alleged that they were pushed out of the gates and protested what they alleged was discrimination by the college. "Why are we not being allowed inside? They are wearing saffron scarves only now. We have been wearing the hijab since childhood. They pushed us out of the college gates," said a young woman in hijab. As the situation threatened to escalate, the college staff tried to herd the saffron-wearing group outside the gates.
