London, February 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):Nobel laureate and education rights activist, Malala Yousafzai, while speaking about the ongoing hijab row in India, stated that the “objectification of women – for wearing less or more – persists.” Malala, took to her Twitter and talked about the hijab controversy raging in India’s state Karnataka where Muslim students wearing the hijab are being barred from entering college premises.
Malala stated: “Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying.” The activist spoke against the decision and urged Indian leaders to stop the “marginalisation of Muslim women”. The cowardice of Hindutvavadis was exposed in Narendra Modi’s India as a lone Hijab-wearing girl student was heckled by RSS goons in saffron shawls at PES College in Mandya district of Karnataka who daringly shouted Allah-o-Akbar.
It has been a month since the students of a state-run school in Udupi District of Indian state of Karnataka started their campaign after they were barred from entering their classrooms while wearing hijab. The story cascaded across the internet, and the students began protesting outside the school gate, reading their lessons.
