Chairman ends zero hour as BJP MPs interrupt Karnataka lawmaker
Congress member L. Hanumanthaiah on Tuesday made a zero hour submission in Rajya Sabha on Muslim students being stopped from entering educational institutions in Karnataka for wearing the hijab. However, the MP from Karnataka could not complete his submission as he was interrupted by members of the treasury benches.
“In some recent incidents in Karnataka, certain educational institutions have stopped girl students from the minority community from entering for wearing hijabs. Sir, Article 14 of our Constitution guarantees equality for all, Article 25 guarantees free practising of religion. ...in this case, these Muslim girls are being stopped from wearing hijab,” he said before the interruptions began and he was told by Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu that the timing of the zero hour submissions was over.
