BHOPAL: A day after MP school education minister Inder Singh Parmar said hijab should be banned in schools, chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday advised ministers to exercise restraint while speaking to the media.
At Wednesday's cabinet meet, CM told ministers that no one should "arbitrarily give comments on policy matters". State home minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra Wednesday clarified that there is no plan to ban the hijab. "The state government has no such proposal (on hijab ban) under consideration. There is no controversy here. In Karnataka, too, the matter is before the court," Mishra said. Parmar's statement has put the ruling BJP in MP on the defensive. "Is this a government or a circus," Congress asked, and demanded Parmar's sacking.
