Govt. should identify organisations fuelling hijab row, says BJP

‘It is a matter of concern that sharp weapons were found during a protest in Kundapur’

BJP Dakshina Kannada unit president Sudarshan Moodbidri said on Wednesday that the State Government should investigate and trace the communal forces and political parties that are fuelling the hijab controversy.

In a statement, Mr. Moodbidri said that the way the issue is being flagged internationally indicated that there is a conspiracy by a communal organisation to fuel protests in different parts of the State. The protests are receiving support from a political party and it is a matter of concern that sharp weapons were found in people who took part in the recent protest outside the Government Pre University College in Kundapur in Udupi district.

The State Government should take action against those who are fuelling the protests and creating law and order problem, he said.
