Claim: Video of anti-hijab protesters in Karnataka replacing tricolour with saffron flag.
Fact-check: Karnataka anti-hijab protesters did not replace the tricolour with a saffron flag; Saffron flag was hoisted on an empty flag post - FACTLY
Verdict: students protesting against hijab at the government first grade college in shivamogga hoisted a saffron flag on an empty flag post. the students did not replace the national flag. the district sp and the college principal have clarified the same. college principal further clarified that the tricolour was taken down much earlier on 26 january itself. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
