Muskan, the hijab-clad girl who was the target of heckling by a group of boys in a college in Mandya in a viral video, has welcomed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s statement to consider withdrawal of the ban on hijab.
Speaking to television channels on December 23, Ms Muskan said she had dropped out of formal college education from the college after the erstwhile BJP Government imposed a ban on hijab. “I dropped out of the exams and was doing other courses. Now, I will write the exam and resume studies in the same college,” she said.
Reacting to the Opposition by BJP to the Government’s move to withdraw the ban, Ms Muskan called upon the political parties not to play politics with their future. “Please don’t play politics with our future”, she said.
