Hijab row: Taking to Instagram, Sonam Kapoor shared a picture of a man in a turban and a woman in a hijab, and it questions why can a turban be a choice but a hijab can't.
The ongoing unrest in the state of Karnataka over whether students should be permitted to wear hijab in educational institutions has caught actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja's attention.
Taking to Instagram, Sonam Kapoor shared a picture of a man in a turban and a woman in a hijab, and it questions why can a turban be a choice but a hijab can't.
Sonam Kapoor's post comes days after several women in Karnataka were heckled by protesters for wearing a hijab.
The whole controversy erupted after the Karnataka government on February 5 issued an order mandating a dress code in all schools and colleges, with a ban on clothes that "disturb equality, integrity and public law and order".
