New Delhi: Hearing is going on in the Supreme Court regarding the ongoing Hijab controversy in Karnataka. During the hearing, senior advocate Dushyant Dave told a bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia that they should not have heard the matter and referred the matter to a larger bench. Dave further said that the bench cannot limit him to arguing till the stipulated time. At the same time, he rejected the request of the court to end the hearing today itself.
During the hearing, Senior Counsel Colin Gosolvis also presented his arguments. He said whether the hijab is a necessary tradition or not, it is a religious tradition. It gets protection in the Muslim religion and under Article 25. Senior Advocate Meenakshi Arora whether Hijab in any way hurts public order or morality? On the contrary, you kick children out of school. You marginalize them. We do not teach religious tolerance to children. Meenakshi Arora said 'The state government has no power to pass a government order against a central law. While the state has issued a government order, to allow the hijab in Kendriya Vidyalayas. I only say that if it is in accordance with the law, then I will say that the government order is wrong.
Arora further said that if we impose restrictions then it should be the same for all. There should not be any discrimination and should proceed according to global activities. In such a situation, the court should look into the discrimination which has been done in the government order in Karnataka.
The Muslim side is constantly changing its arguments in the case of the Hijab:-
Let us tell you that in the hearing held on Monday, the Muslim side changed its tone and said that the requirement of hijab should be seen as a right of women instead of the Quran. On this, the Supreme Court has also sought an answer from the advocate on the changing arguments. Earlier, the Muslim side had called the hijab necessary in Islam. But, when the court said that the hijab is not mandatory in Islam, the lawyers for the Muslim side began to say that it should be seen from the point of view of women's rights, not from the point of view of the Quran or Islam. Let us tell you that according to women's rights, the women of the country have the freedom to wear whatever they want, but the rules of educational institutions are different. In such a situation, the hearing is going on in the Supreme Court only regarding the demand for wearing hijab in educational institutions.
