In the Karnataka Hijab row, counsel Vinod Kulkarni, appearing on behalf of the Muslim girls today pleaded for allowing hijab at least on Fridays and during the holy month of Ramadan.
”Poor Muslim girls are suffering because of restriction on wearing Hijab. I request the court to pass an order allowing girls to wear Hijab on Friday, which is Jumma day for the Muslim, and during the holy month of Ramzan,”, said before the full bench of the High Court comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice J M Khazi and Justice Krishna S Dixit.
Kulkarni contended there was a ”mass hysteria” in the country due to the Hijab issue. He said Hijab was ”not against health or morality”. According to him, banning Hijab amounted to banning the holy Quran.
The Court on Thursday adjourned the hearing in the Hijab case till Friday.
