Hundreds of Muslim women took to the streets in a pro-hijab demonstration at Malegaon town
As hundreds of Muslim women hit the streets in a pro-hijab demonstration at Maharashtra’s Malegaon town, the State Home Minister on Friday requested political parties and organisations to refrain from protesting on sensitive issues and maintain peace in the State.
A day before, the local All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA, Maulana Mufti Ismail, had said that Friday would be observed as “hijab day” in Malegaon. The call was given by the Muslim organisation, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind. “We have appealed to Muslim women here and also wherever our voice reaches that they remain covered in full clothes and do not come out without it, as mandated by the Shariat. This message needs to be go across that we are following our religion and we should be allowed to do so,” he told mediapersons.
