In a comment on the Karnataka hijab row, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that the system in the country should run on the Constitution of India and not Shariat or the Islamic law.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “This is the India of world’s most popular leader Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In this new India, development is for all and there will be appeasement of none.”
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president and Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi said that a girl wearing a hijab would be the Prime Minister of India one day. “I may not be alive to see it, but mark my words, one day a hijab-wearing girl will be the Prime Minister,” he said.
The government works with the motto of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, he said. It works with the principle of Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas. “The new India will work according to the Constitution, and not the Shariat. I also want to say it clearly that the dream of Gazva-e-Hind will not be fulfilled even till the Qayamat,” he said.
Taking to Twitter, the CM had said, “Those who dream of Gazva-e-Hind, religious fanatics of Talibani thinking, understand this… India will run according to the constitution, not according to Shariat…!”
Yogi Adityanath, clearing his stance on the Karnataka Hijab row, said that a proper dress code should be followed in schools, adding that he never asked the public or workers in UP to wear saffron for what they wear is their personal choice.
“Am I asking the people and workers in UP to wear saffron? What they want to wear is their choice. But in schools, there should be a dress code. This is the matter of schools and the discipline in schools,” he added.
The Chief Minister also said that one’s personal belief is separate, “but when one talks about institutions, then one has to accept the rules there,” he said. In a national context, the Constitution should be followed.”
