Hijab row: BJP's Pragya Singh Thakur said it will not be tolerated if students distort the knowledge and discipline of schools and colleges and start wearing hijab.
Amid a row over hijab in Karnataka, BJP leader Pragya Singh Thakur on Wednesday said headscarves will not be tolerated if they are worn in educational institutions other than madrassas.
The Lok Sabha member from Bhopal also said that Hindus worship women and don't see them in evil manner.
Pragya Singh Thakur was speaking at a function in a temple in Barkheda Pathani area in Bhopal.
"You have madrassas. We have nothing to do if you wear hijab or apply khijab (hair colour) there (in madrassas). You wear the attire required there and follow their discipline. But if you distort the knowledge and discipline of schools and colleges in the country and start wearing hijab and applying khijab then it will not be tolerated," she said.
