Hyderabad: Hyderabad MP and AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed the Congress government in Karnataka for banning hijab (head cover) in examinations and also for failing to revoke the BJP government’s ban on hijab.
“Telangana CongRSS Chief RSS Anna wants to apply ‘Karnataka model’ in Telangana. This is why he keeps abusing sherwani and avoids being seen with skull cap wearing Muslims” Asaduddin Owaisi said on X.
#Karnataka CongRSS govt has banned HIJAB in exams. It has also not revoked the previous BJP govt’s Hijab ban.
