Mayawati Calls for Local Resolution of Hijab Dispute, Warns Against Narrow Politics
BSP leader Mayawati urged resolving the hijab dispute at the local level through mutual understanding rather than legal battles, warning against its use for narrow politics. She emphasized constitutional guarantees of equal rights and respect for all religions. The Allahabad High Court recently dismissed a petition allowing a student to wear a hijab in school, a decision the All India Muslim Personal Law Board plans to challenge. Mayawati also called for peaceful resolution of related tensions in Uttar Pradesh.
