‘Lone tigress’: Twitter hails Hijabi girl for standing up to saffron-clad bullies

As the hijab row escalated in Karnataka, on Tuesday, videos of a Hijabi student being heckled by a group of saffron-clad students chanting slogans of “Jai Shree Ram” surfaced on social media.
Twitter users have come out in support and appreciated the girl for bravely standing up to the saffron-clad boys who attempted to bully her.
In the video that surfaced on social media, the girl who is a student of P. E. S. Engineering college can be seen parking her vehicle and proceeding towards the college, as a group of students wearing saffron scarves walk towards her shouting slogans of “Jai Shri Ram”. However, they were taken aback when the Hijabi girl countered their attack chanting “Allahu Akbar”.

Behaving like mawalis and thugs is apparently nationalism now. https://t.co/XJADOpjy5I — Rohini Singh (@rohini_sgh) February 8, 2022 How brave these men are & how macho they must feel while targeting a lone young lady! Hatred for Muslims has been completely mainstreamed & normalised in India today. We are no longer a nation that celebrates our diversity, we want to punish & exclude people for it. https://t.co/KfxaF88Otd — Omar Abdullah (@OmarAbdullah) February 8, 2022 https://twitter.com/NcAsthana/status/1490983671549263872 It pains me to see how so many young minds have been poisoned. But whether it is this young woman or others in Karnataka, they are not alone. Love will eventually overpower hate. I call on @DgpKarnataka to uphold the Constitution & the rule of law. @PMOIndia @RahulGandhi https://t.co/aSigmH3kzy — Salman Anees Soz (@SalmanSoz) February 8, 2022 “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” There is no other word to describe this woman – in the face of screaming hooligans she walks with her head high. Respect. https://t.co/X60qFM5D9x — Sandhya (@TheRestlessQuil) February 8, 2022 Harassing a muslim girl in broad daylight without fear of any repercussion shows such goons enjoy patronage from those in power. Such incidents shouldn’t be seen in isolation as BJP hopes that it helps to polarise in UP elections. https://t.co/NJo058o1xi — Mehbooba Mufti (@MehboobaMufti) February 8, 2022 How will India recover from this?
