Muslim woman was allegedly forced to remove her headscarf at an event attended by PM MODI

[lastofthepatriots]

She should be glad as a woman in India that they only took off her scarf.

That's her choice of dressing, you don't decide what she has to wear in a public event attended by PM.

You have your right to wear burqa, and as a security admin the person has his right to allow or disallow entry to you. PERIOD

You can sit in your home as much you want with such attire, in public places you are open to policies and security scans.

 

[GHOSTS]

This news from NDTV. They made a mountain out of mole as usual. How could security officer check her identity without removing her burkha??? Security of our prime minister is more important than someone's burkha. Burkha brigade Get over it

Was their a dress code at the Avenue? No there wasn't any..! So obviously the security admin had no business stopping some one from wearing her choice of attire

The outlook link clearly says that the women were allowed to attend event with their hijabs

In a televised audio byte given to some new channels in Kerala, Muppanad Panchayat president, Shaharbhan, alleged that the security personnel first prevented her and two other women from attending the function as they were wearing black 'hijabs', part of their religious veil.

Shaharbhan said that while she removed her veil to enter the venue, two other representatives from Cherkulam and Trikaripur panchayats in Kasaragod district refused to attend the function without their traditional head scarfs, she claimed.

After some Swachh Bharat Mission officials from Kerala intervened, the women were allowed to wear their traditional attire.

You are just repeating what has already been stated.. The woman was forced to remove her headscarf and only allowed after other officials intervened.

Dress code has nothing to do with security checks. If anyone even suggests hijab or burqa is not allowed in India, it will be laughed at by those who know India.

Objecting to security checks such as this is like objecting to being asked to remove your belts and shoes etc before the scan

There need not be any dress code to remove the potential threat from the public place.

Public security is utmost important thing , not your fashion excercise. You can do fashion show as much you want at your home, no one is going to stop you there.

So when did a piece of cloth become a security threat? She was already scanned and checked, the security doesn't claim that there was security issue with hijab. So please stop wasting my time incase you don't have anything meaningful to post.

Man disguised as woman wearing burqa kills 15 in Chad capital bomb attack

Burqa-clad suicide bomber kills 45 in Pakistan

Woman caught with bomb under burqa


Just becoz you are ignorant, does not mean everybody is.

 

[Glorino]

Right thing to do- was she happy -YES because she can present herself before PM Modi

LOL Did you even read the OP, she was already through the security check. The problem here was that the security personnel did not return her headscarf after the check. So your given scenario is nowhere comparable.

 

[Godman]

If security is concerned there is no issue a woman without a Hijab is better than a dead Head of State

 

[Brickwall]

In this case,at least security staff could be more sanitized for respecting religious sentiments.

Also people who are crying hoarse about women rights or religion issue, where are they when triple talaak is issued through message or some mad mullah issue fatwa to women just because they dance , sing or write books which is not according to them.
