India will run by the Constitution, not Sharia: UP CM Adityanath on Karnataka Hijab Row
New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Karnataka Hijab row said that “India will run by the Constitution and not Shariya law. Every organization has the right to formulate its own dress code, but the system should run according to the Constitution.”
Earlier on Friday, the Karnataka High Court, in its interim order pending consideration of all petitions related to the Hijab row, had requested the state government to reopen educational institutions and restrained all the students from wearing saffron shawls, scarves, Hijab and any religious flag within the classroom.
Ahead of the reopening of schools for high school students from February 14, and for Pre-University and Degree Colleges thereafter the state government has issued a series of directions to district administrations, aimed at maintaining peace and that the High Court order is not violated.
