Turbans and Tilaks are allowed, then what is the problem with hijab ? : Former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi

Editorial comments

  • Wearing a turban is an essential practice in the Sikh religion while applying a tilak is an essential practice in the Hindu religion; however, wearing a hijab is not an essential practice in Islam, which is why it is not permitted. The Karnataka HC has made a similar statement while passing the judgment, which Quraishi must understand !
  • This is an example of how a Muslim person, no matter how big a position he has taken, is constantly defending his religion, and a Hindu person whether in a high position or not carry a suicidal secularist ideology for the rest of his life !
Former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi

New Delhi – In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi discussed several topics. He said, ‘Hijab is not a commandment in the Quran, although both men and women are expected to dress decently. Sikh turban, tilak is allowed in school uniform, then what is the problem with hijab ? Maulana can tell whether the hijab is necessary or not as the matter comes under their ambit. Will it be right if Maulana starts giving IPC decisions ?’

Some of the statements made by Quraishi in the interview,

1. ‘Educated Hindu girls trap educated Muslim boys in love and marry them !’

Love-jihad is just propaganda. It is only Muslim girls who suffer. Because well-educated Hindu girls trap well-educated Muslim boys in love and marry them. As a result, Muslim girls do not get to marry such boys. (Such an argument is nothing but Quraishi’s own invention ! Please note that Quraishi intentionally hides the fact that in thousands of cases of love-jihad, Muslim youths have been introducing themselves as Hindus to Hindu girls. Following this, these Hindu girls have been sexually exploited by forceful conversion to Islam ! – Editor)

2. ‘In the next 1,000 years, a Muslim cannot become the Prime Minister !’

It is true that Muslims have the lowest rate of family planning, but this has nothing to do with religion. If it is said that Muslims are increasing their population, then it is wrong. With the Muslim population increasing in the next 1,000 years, a Muslim cannot become the Prime Minister. (Even if the Muslim population increases to 40%, Hindus know that what happened to Kashmiri Hindus will happen to them in the whole country. This is what Quraishi is trying to hide ! – Editor)

3. ‘Secular Hindus are being made communal !’

Quraishi said, ‘The victory of Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh was a victory of communalism because the country is in the age of polarisation. The first polarisation was at the time of partition, the second at the time of Babri, and the third has begun at present. The nature of Hindus is secular, but today they are being made communal’. (Now that Hindus are being awakened from hypocritical secularism, they are understanding the facts. This is what is bothering religious fanatics and secularists. That is why they are making such statements ! – Editor)

4. ‘There can be no scam in EVM machines !’

Quraishi said, ‘I consider EVMs to be reliable because BJP would not have lost Bengal elections had it gone wrong’.
