New Delhi: The controversy over the Hijab Row in educational institutions in Karnataka is not taking its name to stop. In view of the growing controversy in the state, while the government has closed all the schools and colleges for three days, the matter has reached the big bench of the High Court. Now on Wednesday, all kinds of gatherings and demonstrations near educational institutions have been banned for two weeks. Meanwhile, the round of accusations and counter-accusations has also started among the leaders. While talking to NDTV, the opposition condemned it, while the BJP called it a conspiracy to develop Talibani thinking in India.
Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda said that this is one of the worst incidents I have seen. This is one of the worst things. Law and order has failed. The state government is scared and worried about law and order, so the schools have been closed. The matter is going on for the last 5 days. The state government should intervene and take necessary action.
Dhar, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said on the hijab controversy that the way a girl was surrounded by some people on camera and raised slogans, it is highly condemnable. Saffron is a Holi color for Hindus, which teaches that women should be respected. The people who were surrounding the girl were goons. Religious institutions and political parties should stay away from this controversy.
Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said that a daughter is a daughter, whether it is of a Hindu, a Muslim, a Sikh or a Christian. Daughter is respected by all. Nothing should be done with his honor. The whole world has seen that you are molesting a girl by taking the name of Lord Maryada Purushottam Ram. The Bharatiya Janata Party is promoting this controversy.
BJP MP and actress Hema Malini on Karnataka Hijab controversy said, “Schools are for education and religious matters should not be taken there. Every school has a uniform, which should be respected. You can wear whatever you want outside the school.”
At the same time, BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP termed it as a conspiracy to develop Talibani thinking in India. Rajya Sabha MP Harnath Singh Yadav said that the hijab controversy is a conspiracy to develop Talibani thinking in India and a conspiracy to destroy the centers of learning. Why do you come to schools and colleges wearing hijab? The school has a dress code, it should be strictly followed.
Karnataka Home Minister Araga Gyanendra on Wednesday accused Congress leaders of creating tension in the state over the hijab controversy. “Congress leaders are adding ghee to the burning fire in Karnataka,” he said. The minister also denied Karnataka Pradesh Congress chief DK Shivakumar’s claim that a student in a college replaced the national flag with a saffron flag. He said that Shivakumar has falsely accused the students of taking down the national flag, there was no tricolor in the college.
