JDS leader referred to Indira Gandhi and President Draupadi Murmu and said, 'Hijab and pallu are one'


Hijab Row: The hearing on the controversy over the hijab ban in Karnataka is going on in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Janata Dal (S) Karnataka chief CM Ibrahim has presented a new logic on Tuesday. He has compared the Islamic hijab to the pallu of a sari. Ibrahim even said that our country’s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi also used to keep pallu on her head and today President Draupadi Murmu also covers her head with pallu. Is this also a conspiracy of PFI?

Keeping pallu on the head is the history of India

Ibrahim was responding to the allegation that the PFI is being said to be behind the ongoing protests in Karnataka over the hijab controversy. He said that Indira Gandhi used to keep pallu on her head. The President puts a pallu on his head. So do all those who wear veils have the support of the PFI? The Karnataka chief of JDS said that covering one’s head with pallu is the history of India, it is the culture of India.

Significantly, the Karnataka government, while replying in the court today, said that the PFI was behind the protests regarding the hijab. It also claimed that hijabs were not worn in schools until 2021. In the order issued by the Government of Karnataka on February 5, 2022, the wearing of hijab in schools and colleges was banned. According to this, such a dress can lead to equality, unity and unrest in the public mind.

Hijab is the hallmark of Muslims

The petitioners challenging the hijab ban had argued in the Supreme Court on Monday that the hijab is the identity of Muslims. Senior advocate Dushyant Dave had said that all the decisions of the authorities in Karnataka are marginalizing the minority community. He had said that the religious practice is the same which the community has been following as its religious belief.
