India Today
Assaduddin Owaisi reacted to a video of girls in hijabs not being allowed inside a school in Karnataka’s Mandya. He took to Twitter, calling it humiliating a community, and said this is what happens when fundamental rights are denied.
On Monday, February 14, Asaduddin Owaisi, President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) took to Twitter to share his views on a video of a teacher asking a girl to remove her hijab before entering the campus.
His tweet reads, “This is humiliating a community,this is what happens when Fundamental Rights are suspended,where is my Dignity. Is this not an attempt to make us Z Category citizens. Power is not eternal BJP must remember.Tum zameen pe zulm likh doAasmaan pe inquilab likha jayega”
Along with his tweet, he attached a video of a school in Karnataka’s Mandya district. In the two-minute-twelve-second video, a teacher of the Rotary educational society in Mandya asked a girl child student to remove her hijab before entering the campus.
The child turns around for a couple of seconds and then removes the hijab and keeps waiting outside the gate. However, another slightly older student accompanied by a man was stopped by the teacher. While the man is seen arguing with the teacher, another girl in a hijab stops near the teacher.

The teacher then asks the newly arrived girl to wait as well. Meanwhile, three other men also join the conversation. Simultaneously, the first child wears the hijab again and continues to wait next to the group of people.
After the conversation-turned-argument went on for over a minute, the teacher remained adamant that she wouldn’t allow girls inside with their hijabs.
