Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s tweet on the Karnataka hijab row on Saturday, the BJP said, “Why doesn’t Rahul Gandhi make hijab essential in all Congress-ruled states?”
On Saturday morning, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke out on the Karnataka hijab row and said the nation was robbing the future of girl students by letting the issue come in the way of their education.
Responding to Rahul Gandhi, the Karnataka BJP accused him of “communalising education” and tweeted that he had “once again proved that he is dangerous to the future of India”.
Further, the party asked, “If hijab is very much essential to get educated, why doesn’t Rahul Gandhi make it mandatory in states ruled by Congress”
The Karnataka hijab row was sparked after girl students at a government pre-university college in Karnataka were asked not to come wearing hijabs.
The row that started at a college in Udupi soon spilled over to other schools across the district. Later, a number of Hindu students, mostly boys, came to college wearing saffron shawls in response.
