Omar Asks Congress To Revoke Hijab Ban In Karnataka

SRINAGAR, Nov 14: The head of the National Conference, Omar Abdullah, asked Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, the leaders of the Congress, to work on lifting the Karnataka government's ban on headcoverings, or hijabs, on Tuesday. Why ought the government to get involved in this? And directives like these are implemented, specifically targeting Muslims. We wouldn't have been surprised if all of this had occurred in Karnataka years ago given the presence of the BJP government at the time.But it is regrettable that choices of this nature are made when Congress is in session. It's really regrettable.After a party function in Baramulla, Abdullah told reporters, "I request Congress president Sonia Gandhi, senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge, and Rahul Gandhi to reconsider the order that has been issued in Karnataka and work on revoking this order." When asked about Jammu and Kashmir elections, the former chief minister stated that the BJP was unprepared to face the electorate.Not only have the Assembly elections been postponed, but so have the municipal elections. Even the Jammu Municipality's tenure is coming to an end, and there is currently no municipality (corporation) in Srinagar. All municipalities will have served out their terms by January. After January, the panchs and sarpanchs will likewise become extinct, he declared. The Central Government once claimed to have established a three-tiered democracy in J&K; however, as of right now, only one tier remains. It is evident. The polls would have been held here if the BJP had believed they would win the elections, he continued.
