Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday spoke about the Karnataka Hijab row and said that India is a secular country and we should behave accordingly.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader at a press conference said, “It’s unfortunate that some people are trying to gain political mileage out of it.” “Indian culture and Constitution don’t teach us to divide people on caste & religious lines,” he added.
The Dy CM also said that India is a secular country and we should behave accordingly.
“We should avoid incidents that can further divide society. It’s unfortunate that some people are trying to gain political mileage out of it. Indian culture & Constitution don’t teach us to divide people on caste & religious lines,” Ajit Pawar was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Mr Pawar’s statements come on the day when NCP’s city unit held a demonstration in Pune in support of ‘hijab’ for female Muslim students, amid a controversy over the issue in neighbouring Karnataka.
