Hijab vs saffron shawl: PFI, CFI bat for status quo in Sullia college

September 3, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 3: Terming the anti-Hijab agitation launched by a group of students belonging to Hindutva groups at Dr K Shivarama Karantha Government First Grade College in Bellare in Sullia taluk as “undemocratic”, Popular Front of India (PFI) and Campus Front of India (CFI) have urged authorities concerned to maintain the status quo in allowing Muslim girls to wear scarf (hijab).

A section of male students of the college have started wearing saffron shawls in the class to registering their protest against Muslim girls wearing scarf. While the college has 495 students, 19 are Muslims and 15 of them are girls.

In a media release, CFI Karnataka unit has demanded religious freedom for Muslim girls in the college by allowing scarf. It pointed out that Muslim girls studying in the college have been wearing scarf as per their Constitutional and religious freedom for several years.

"Though Muslim girls were wearing scarf as per tradition for several years, it has never been an issue and neither had it created any obstacle in the college. Wearing scarf is a compulsory dress code for women in Islam. Our Constitution agrees to it. Further, scarf is a symbol of respect for women too," the release stated.

A delegation of PFI members have met Sullia taluk tahsildar and Bellare police to take the issue seriously by taking action against those who are trying to make the issue communal.

"Everyone in India has their own customs and traditions and our nation has unity in diversity. Hence, we must learn to live harmoniously by respecting each other in India. However, it is unfortunate that a section of students have been opposing Muslim girls wearing scarf with communal agenda. Students and their parents have already met the principal and submitted a memorandum urging the college authorities to allow scarf for Muslim girls and uphold the Constitutional values," the release added.

This small chaddis are brainwashed by this large chaddis...this puppies even dont know what they are doing...please educate this uncultured goons

Are they students or stone cutters? these young brains are missguided by Kalladka and his criminal gang

Feel shame to introduce our future Generations who are going to lead our Country...God Bless INDIA.

i have a Quest with both School authority as well as so called Hindu Lover's whats your problem in Muslim Women's covering their identity.Please answer.

It is Good that people recognize what is evil and what is Good.
People have also started to learn more about ISLAM
ISLAM in media is different than ISLAM described in QURAN.
People should know ISLAM in QURAN rather than depending on ISLAM in media of cheddis
People also started to know that even SITA WAS COVERING
People also learnt that MARY was also COVERING their head.

Those women who COVER, Should be PROUD as their are following the Divine revelation and dont worry about the consequences... ALLAH's help will be with U.
Those who want to reject the covering should Learn what God says in every religious scripture on women's covering.

Dont side with the EVIL by supporting its agenda...

what a shame , this misfits are more concerned about what other people wanna do,
what they want to wear, eat, live, watch tv programs/ movies is their interest- their life,,

Never seen such a stupid act in life where few guys protesting against women covering themselves, these guys are brain washed by sanghis. I request you all those who wear saffron shawl against women wearing hijab. go and visit rajasthan, kanpur, gujarath. how hindu womens cover themselves to be modest.

Allah is there with us... He will take care of the issue... these trouble mongers don't have any better work I guess....

Resolution in Kerala Assembly is against unconstitutional Act passed by Centre: CM

News Network

January 1,2020

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 1: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said that the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly is against the "unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre".

"The resolution passed by Kerala Assembly is against the unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre. It has been noticed by the whole country," Vijayan said.

The Kerala Assembly had on Tuesday passed a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Before the resolution was passed against the Act, Vijayan in a special Assembly session targeted RSS and said that citizenship law is part of an agenda.

"The CAA is part of an agenda. Muslims are being considered as internal enemies by RSS, who is controlling the ruling dispensation at the Centre," he alleged.

The new law grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday while talking about women safety, the Chief Minister said, "Those women, who are traveling face many problems, particularly regarding accommodation. To address this, government will start accommodation facilities in all towns. This project will be implemented with the help of local bodies."

Reacting to the development in the Kerala Assembly, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Assembly has insulted the Constitution and parliament by passing a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

"The Constitution has delineated clearly the roles of parliament and state legislatures. When people who have taken an oath of the constitution, destroy it, it is a most irresponsible act. Both the houses of parliament have passed CAA and if a state assembly tries to hijack the Act it is an insult not only of the constitution but the parliament as well," Naqvi told news agency.

Comments

Dear scape goat Naqvi, dont try to fool us. I know you are a liar as you are int he company of liars. MPs are taking oath to respect and safeguard indian constitution and not to disrespect it and go agaisnt the teachings of constitution. What Central Govt has done is 100 perent agaisnt the constitution and every citizen has the right to oppose this. You are definately go with the Govt as you are paid for it. But dont force other too to follow you. What Kerala Govt has done is according to will of people and Central Govtr should respect it.
