I don't impose dress code on officials, but...: Yogi Adityanath on hijab row

Commenting on the Karnataka hijab row, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said, "Every person is free to wear what he or she wants. But that freedom is limited to public places, markets and homes. I don't force a dress code on my officials."

Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath said that he doesn't impose a dress code on his officials just because he likes to wear a particular kind of attire (saffron).

Speaking to India Today TV he said: "Every person is free to wear what he or she wants. But that freedom is limited to public places, markets and homes. But I don’t impose a dress code on anyone. I can't do that."

He was referring to the Karnataka hijab controversy wherein girl students are demanding permission to wear hijab in classrooms.

"However, every organization must follow uniform regulations. If a policeman says that he is from a particular religion and he will dress up accordingly, then the organisation will descend into chaos."
