Mangaluru: National Women’s Front, Karnataka’s State Secretary, Farzana Mohammed on Tuesday said that the unfortunate move by the Karnataka High court on Hijab ban in educational institutions will have long-term effects on women’s education.

Speaking at a press meet here on Tuesday, she said that the government has grounded itself under the Sangh Parivar ideologies instead of using constitutional measures in solving the issue.

“By giving way to Sangh Parivar’s propagandist notions, the government is neglecting women’s education altogether. This has led to an alarming state of insecurity among the Muslim community. Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court’s verdict on Hijab is a direct breach of constitution” he said.

She added that the recent verdict has further caused tense situation and has not only violated minority rights but also hurt their religious practices.

Further, she noted that NWF will support the community to move the case to the Supreme court.

NWF Chief Secretary Noushira, State Secretary Ramlat and district head Zuleika were present in the press meet.
