Bajrang Dal on Wednesday said that there is a conspiracy being set up behind the ongoing hijab row. Speaking with India Today TV, Bajrang Dal leader Karnataka convener Sunil KR said, “There is a conspiracy behind the hijab controversy, hence we are calling it hijab jihad.”
“We are speaking on this issue because anti-national forces like Popular Front of India (PFI) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) are active on this issue,” said Sunil KR.
Meanwhile, taking a dig at the Muslim students who stood up for their rights, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) member Poornima Suresh said, “These girls are trying to send a message by wearing hijab that we are different. They are creating a divide, hence it’s jihad.”
“Those Hindu and Muslim girls, who used to eat together, are now looking at each other as [if they are] different — this is the problem,” India Today quoted saying Poornima Suresh.
“At some places, hijab was allowed, but these girls started a fire which engulfed the entire state. They have also asked for a probe by the NIA [National Investigation Agency],” she said.
