All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi disagreed with the Karnataka High Court which ruled that Hijab was not an essential practice of Islam and pointed out that banning the headscarf prevents Muslim women from accessing education.
Mr. Owaisi took to Twitter, and said, “I disagree with Karnataka High Court’s judgment on #hijab. It’s my right to disagree with the judgement & I hope that petitioners appeal before SC.”
The Hyderabad parliamentarian stated that the judgment has “suspended fundamental rights to freedom of religion, culture, freedom of speech and expression.” He hoped that the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and other organisations would appeal against the order.
