In a controversial remark, Congress leader and Karnataka MLA Zameer Ahmed said that women get raped when they don’t wear Hijab. The remark comes amid the hijab controversy where Muslim girl students in Karnataka protested after they were not being allowed to enter colleges wearing hijab.
‘Women get raped when they don’t wear Hijab’, the Congress leader said on the ongoing controversy. Zameer Ahmed had earlier termed the controversy as a conspiracy by the ruling party to divide the communities.
The Karnataka government on Feb 9 had declared a holiday for all high schools and colleges in the state after protests on the issue. The classes are set to open from Monday as Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai expressed confidence that peace and normalcy will prevail.
The Karnataka High Court, in its interim order pending consideration of all petitions related to the Hijab row, had earlier requested the state government to reopen educational institutions and restrained all the students from wearing saffron shawls, scarves, Hijab and any religious flag within the classroom.
In the wake of reopening of schools, the government had last week issued a series of directions to district administrations, aimed at maintaining peace and that the High Court order is not violated.
Several politicians and leaders have expressed their opinion on the controversy. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has said the Constitution of India, and not the law of ‘shariat’, would form the basis for running the country or institution.
Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij has slammed the Congress saying that the party sowed seeds of divisive policies that led to India’s partition. He added that in the name of Hindu-Muslim, Congress had divided the country.
Meanwhile, the Udupi district administration has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of Code of Criminal Procedure in areas around all high schools in the district from February 14 till February 19.
