Hijab row: Mumbai MLA meets Mandya girl, gifts iPhone


Bengaluru, Feb 11 (IANS): Karnataka college girl Muskaan Khan who confronted a crowd by raising slogans of "Allah hu Akbar" during protests that broke out on hijab row, continues to be in news.

Congress MLA from Mumbai's Bandra Zeeshan Siddique came all the way from Maharashtra on Friday and paid visit to Muskan's residence in Mandya city. The MLA appreciated her "courage", assured support and gifted her an iPhone and smart watch.

"I came from so far to meet the girl from our community who showed exemplary courage. I am happy for her courageous act," he stated.

"Today whole of Karnataka, entire country is taking pride of her act. She has shown what is the real power of woman. After seeing her brave act, other women who are being pressurised, subjected to harassment and whoever is meted with injustice, they can also confront such acts," he asserted.

Her act against those zaalims (cruel people) is commendable, he added.

"Wearing hijab is a constitutional right. One can wear clothes of her choice. You have problem with her hijab or with the fact that she is getting educated," the Congress MLA said.

"There are crores of brothers behind Muskaan to protect her right of wearing hijab. I felt happy after meeting her family," he added.

Muskaan Khan, the student of PES College of Arts, Science and Commerce in Mandya district was allegedly heckled by a group of students in the college premises for wearing 'burka'. The group raised slogan of 'Jai Sriram' while surrounding and following her. Muskan confronted the crowd with slogan of 'Allah hu Akbar'. The video is now viral on social media.

Later, she was safely escorted inside the classroom by authorities. Muskaan has later stated that she will abide by the court order and thanked college authorities.

Meanwhile, various Muslim organisations have announced cash reward for her act. Complaint has also been lodged in connection with announcing cash prize to Muskaan.

    Back in 90-2000 , there were hardly any muslim girls in our class. I remember some used to wear burka to college but then remove and some used to wear hijab. It is just like how christian sisters wear their headscarf. I am sure there will be opposition for sisters wearing their religious dress to classes in the future. Brahmins wear Janivara, Muslims wear hijab/burkha , christian sisters were their dresses and this is the beauty of our country. Though colleges have dress code/uniform, I don't think the muslim girls are saying no to it, they are just wearing hijab on top of it, and it should be considered just like wearing sweater on top of uniform. This is unnecessarily dragged by both muslim and Hindu communities. Most of the Hindu's have the saffron string to (Kautuka) in their hands, christians wear cross around their neck , if for everything we raise objection then we end up spending all our time here. Students should concentrate on whats important to their life, something productive. With these kind of behaviors , may be few become politicians but majority of the students would only get bad name for themselves. Hope the high court to give sound decision soon

    This incidence is being politicized not only in India, but in other countries around the world. If wearing of Hijab and a Black Burkha has been ordained by Allah, then ALL Muslims both men and woman should be covered. While a female wears black burkha, men should wear a White Burkha for purpose of differentiating them from woman. Why only should females should be covered and not be seen by men, Men should be fully covered too, so that females should not see male walking around wearing unbuttoned shirts and shorts and they can be seen by females???? Where is the logic here

    I disagree with this ..I don't support it.. This Gift is to creat more problems FIne, he wanted to give a gift to the girl good gesture but could have given the gift quietly & gone. This creates again problems. I don't care who he is but what he did is wrong. He should have asked permission from the Karnataka Pradesh Congress president & then given it. Of course, she is a brave Girl but why she shouts return is because the Boys were shouting slogans so she shouted her slogan, But she had come to submit her assignments.She has clearly mentioned that the students were nit from her college they were outsiders

    You mean saffron shawls distributed secretly by the honourable ministers and later denied to encourage civil,disturbance. He has openly gifted it for standing by the constitutional rights. If you have objection then file case against him. The evidence is there in public forum.

    Muskan Khan has the guts to go to China and Pakistan borders single-handedly and force PLA and Pakistan retreat from india territory. Blind bhakths can wear bangles and clap for her while Modi goes to Pakistan uninvited secretly and party’s with terrorists.

    @Jossey Sir, I am sorry that you seem to having split personality. Sometimes you call them as dressing like clones and sometimes show your desire to honour them with Bharat Ratna. But for your clone remark, I have a quote for your guidance: ............ "For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil" (Corinthians 11:6). Will you still hold on to your statement about clones? Expect a reply from a gentleman if you are.
