Assam CM Sarma further said that whatever is happening in Karnataka is not an issue of knowledge or education. It has now become an issue of religion in the temple of education. Pointing to the conspiracy behind the controversy, he said it was not a dispute till three years ago. Why did it suddenly arise? Sarma said, "If the students go to school wearing a hijab, how will the teacher know if the child is understanding or not? If one student sits in the class wearing a hijab and another student sits in another disguise, then what will be the significance? Three years ago, no one said to wear a hijab. That case has just come to light.''

सभी इस्लामिक देश कह रहे हैं कि हिज़ाब ज़रुरी नहीं है। राहुल और प्रियंका गांधी कह रहे हैं कि हिज़ाब पहनों। लेकिन उनका एक भी वक्तव्य नहीं मिलेगा जहां पर वे बोल रहे हों कि आप लोग इंजीनियरिंग, मेडिकल पढ़ो। आप विश्वविद्यालय में जाओ: देहरादून में असम के मुख्यमंत्री हिमंत बिस्वा सरमा pic.twitter.com/bZYS4CNvpq

At the same time, Sarma, reacting to Rahul Gandhi's statement in Parliament calling India a group of states, said, "In the case of hijab, a case is filed. In both the Supreme Court and the Karnataka High Court, the Congress lawyer stands in support of the hijab. It's a conspiracy to break up the country. Right now, the Muslim community needs the most education, not the hijab. If Muslim daughters need to be doctors, engineers. The Opposition has taken this issue to a very low level. Religious Islam emphasizes the Quran and education, but the second political Islam is being followed by the Congress.''

Have we ever asked for proof of whether Rahul is Rajiv Gandhi's son or not?
