Congress to Lift Hijab Ban in Karnataka, Says the Party’s Only Muslim Woman MLA

BENGALURU – There is an indication that the Congress government will lift the much-controversial hijab ban in Karnataka. One of the reasons for the BJP’s election defeat is the Hijab ban. It is reported that the Congress will consider withdrawing the hijab ban after the government comes to power.

“If God wills, we will lift the hijab ban imposed by BJP in educational institutions in the coming days. Those girls will be given a chance to go back to school. They can write exams. “Girls have lost 2 precious years” – said Kanees Fatima, who won as the only Muslim woman MLA in the Congress.

In Uttara Gulbaraga, Kanis defeated BJP’s Chandrakant B. Patil by 2,712 votes. Last year, the BJP government issued an order banning the hijab in educational institutions in Karnataka. There were reports that many female students dropped out.
