TIWN
Lucknow, March 16 (TIWN) All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) general secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani has expressed 'regret and disappointment' on the Karnataka High Court order upholding the ban on hijab in educational institutions.
Speaking exclusively to TOI, the cleric said the board will be holding an online meeting soon to discuss the way forward on the issue apart from tabling the matter in an offline meeting to be held at the end of March. AIMPLB has previously expressed intent to move SC in the matter.
Rahmani called Tuesday’s order a discriminatory one towards Muslims, making comparisons with certain governments altering aviation laws to appease a community and governments bearing the expenses of some groups and communities to use their religious symbols.
He also refuted the claim that hijab is not essential to Islam and said banning it is intrusion in constitutional rights of Muslim citizens.
