जब से UP चुनाव की घोषणा हुई हैं, मध्य प्रदेश के दर्जनों जिलों जैसे खण्डवा, इंदौर, उज्जैन में “अज़ान” के खिलाफ़ मुहीम छेड़ कर दी गई हैं। रैलीयां निकाल कर भड़काऊ नारे लगाए जा रहे हैं। बावजूद इसके, रैली की परमिशन मिल रही है Thread- वीडियो MP के रतलाम का हैं। @DGP_MP @SP_RATLAM_MP pic.twitter.com/nI3EBGvflO — काश/if Kakvi (@KashifKakvi) February 4, 2022 February 9: The issue over the wearing of hijab (headscarves) by students spread beyond Karnataka’s borders and erupted in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and Puducherry. As the Karnataka High Court found in favour of “discipline” and a “uniform clothing code” in response to a plea by five female students in support of headscarves, a minister in Madhya Pradesh ruled in favour of “discipline” and a “uniform dress code.” The authorities in Puducherry have requested the principal of a government school in Ariyankuppam to investigate reports that a teacher objected to headscarves in class.
