It is the BJP that is responsible for creating a row over hijab. The ruling party is responsible for making the issue spread to all villages and towns, Satish Jarkiholi, KPCC working president, said in Belagavi on Friday.
He told journalists that the Congress was watching the issue closely. “We have supported the rights of some Muslims who choose to wear the hijab. It is part of the essential religious practices that the Supreme Court has upheld in several earlier cases,” he said.
