Imphal, February 11 2022:
All Manipur Muslim Girl Students' Union (AMMGSU) on Friday organised a protest rally against the call for banning of wearing of hijab by Muslim women at Minuthong Hatta.
Speaking in connection with the rally, AMMGSU advisor Khuleibam Rukshar Choudhury stated that they are not committing any crime by wearing a piece of cloth.
They strongly opposed the hijab row instigated by some people from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
They are against interference in one's religious practice.
Islamic law and hijab have not hurt people of any other religion, she added.
Rukshar continued that there should be no hindrance given to the movement of Muslim women, and none should invite any such communal action in the state.
Intending candidate from Bishnupur AG Govindas Konthoujam should clarify the tweet he posted on the matter.
His statement can hurt Muslim sentiments.
So, if he does not clarify then Manipuri Muslims will boycott BJP, she further cautioned.
