Hijab for Muslims is like ‘Mangalsutra’ of Hindus : Cong MP TN Prathapan

The issue of hijab in colleges in Karnataka

Editorial comment

Congress MP Prathapan is not even aware of which things to compare with what ! Prathapan should realise that it is futile to justify wearing hijab in colleges by supporting the issue.

Bengaluru (Karanataka) – TN Prathapan, Congress MP from Kerala raised the issue in Lok Sabha, saying that for Muslim women, wearing hijab is like “mangalsutra for Hindus, the crucifix for the Christians and turbans for the Sikhs”.

He demanded the Union Education Minister’s intervention in the matter to give them their Constitutional rights.
