'Set Modi on Fire': Burqa-clad woman in NCP's pro-hijab protest says the PM should be killed

The Nationalist Congress Party’s Pune unit has been holding protests over the Karnataka hijab controversy, for some unknown reasons. In a recently organised protest in Pune, Maharashtra, one Burqa-clad woman was seen asking people to set Prime Minister Modi on fire for ‘bringing a law to cause inconvenience’. The Muslim girls are now squatting outside the MGM college as a mark of protest against the state government for not allowing them to wear Islamic attire inside secular educational campuses. As teachers requested the Muslim girl students to make way for students, a Burqa-clad woman heckled the teacher and abused her by saying, “Bullsh*t, I won’t.” Hindu students, civil society step up protests against hijab on campus Amidst the ongoing Hijab controversy cooling down, the civil society members, the Hindu groups, have now stepped up their protest against the provocative act of Muslim students to violate the existing uniform guidelines enforced by the state government. In response, Hindu students have also launched a protest, saying that if Muslim girls are allowed an exemption to the dress code on religious grounds, they will be coming to college with saffron shawls too.
