New Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma who is famous for his controversial remarks said that there should be no controversy around hijab row.
Mr Sarma claimed that Quran (The holy book of Muslims) is focused on education, not hijab.
He added that if one tries to read the Quran Sharif properly, he would come to know that it focused on education, not hijab. Asking whether education is important or hijab, he himself answered that Muslim’s biggest responsibility is education.
Assam CM’s comments came as India witnesses widespread protest for and against hijab. The matter flared up last month when some Muslim girls were barred from entering colleges in some educational institutions in Karnataka. Since then, protests for and against the hijab have been taking place in the state. The hijab matter is pending in Karnataka High Court.
