Bengaluru, April 7 (TIWN): Coming down heavily on Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri for lauding a Karnataka girl who shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ at a mob during the recent protests against the hijab ban, senior Congress leader Ajay Maken said on Thursday that a terror outfit does not have any right to comment on India’s internal matters.
The current controversy erupted after Al-Qaeda’s global terrorist Zawahiri in a nine-minute video praised Muskan Khan, a college student from Mandya district, for raising the slogan ‘Allahu Akbar’ to counter a mob chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in the college premises at the height of the hijab crisis in Karnataka.
In the video titled ‘The Noble Woman of India’, Zawahiri could be heard reciting a poem he composed to praise Muskan.
Speaking to reporters at the Congress headquarters here, AICC General Secretary Maken said, “We want to make one thing clear. We condemn the statement made by the Al-Qaeda leader in connection with the hijab row.
