On Wednesday, Pakistan summoned India's Charge d'Affaires to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and conveyed the government's "grave concern" over the ongoing Hijab protests by a section of Muslim students in Karnataka.
The Muslim students who are protesting against uniform regulations in the state and had begun the protest were in contact with radical Islamic outfit CFI.
The hijab row in Karnataka has taken an uglier turn with incidents of stone-pelting and violence being reported from various parts of the state on Tuesday.
It is time to move beyond simplistic virtue signalling on the issue of Hijab and analyse the issue without bias. We owe it to the pioneers of feminism.
On Saturday, in solidarity with their classmates, Hindu girl students also hit the streets by wearing saffron shawls to protest against hijab on campus.
