However, the students and parents expressed their opinion that because of the exams, we will be disturbed by the bandh. Their welfare is our priority. Therefore, we have decided to withdraw the bandh call by respecting their opinion, said D.K. Shivakumar said.

In the background of the Karnataka bandh, there was concern that if the activists staged a ruckus and protest rally in some places, it might cause problems for the students going for PUC annual examination. At present there is concern about the return of the bus.
