In the midst of the dispute over Muslim women’s headscarves, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi stated that a girl wearing a hijab will one day become Prime Minister of the country.
“If a girl desires to wear a hijab and begs her parents to allow her to do so, and her parents agree, who can stop her? Inshaallah, we will witness it “In a 43-second video of his speech at an electoral rally, Mr. Owaisi is heard stating.
“The girls would wear hijab and Niqab to college and go on to become doctors, collectors, SDMs, and businesspeople.” “Mr. Owaisi was heard stating in the video, which was published on his Twitter account.
“Keep in mind that one day, perhaps when I am no longer living, a girl wearing a headscarf will become Prime Minister of this country,” he continued.
The hijab controversy began in Karnataka at the end of December, when a few students from a government pre-university college in Udupi who were wearing headscarves were ordered to leave the campus.
