Protest at J&K's Christ School over ban on tilak, bindi and mehendi
A demonstration took place outside Christ School in Digwar, Jammu and Kashmir, organized by groups like the Sanatan Dharam Sabha, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), and Bajrang Dal. The protest was sparked by claims that the institution had prohibited students from wearing bindi, tilak, or mehendi while on school grounds. These groups argued that the policy offended Hindu religious feelings. Following the backlash, the school's principal, Sujith Mathew, issued an apology.
