s the hijab row in Karnataka continue to intensify in several parts of the state, Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai took to Twitter on Tuesday, to criticise the “horrifying” situation. Taking to the social media platform, She reacted on the ongoing controversy where Muslim girls wearing headscarves are being barred from attending classes and school premises. Malala, who had taken bullets from the Taliban in Pakistan in 2012 for speaking up about the rights of girls and their education, urged Indian leaders to stop marginalisation of Muslim women.
Quoting a report where a Muslim student said that they were being forced to choose between studies and the hijab, Malala wrote, “Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women.” (India.com)

Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women. https://t.co/UGfuLWAR8I
