Al-Qaeda Chief’s Video Proves Involvement Of ‘Unseen Hands’ In Karnataka Hijab Row: State Minister

He said the Home and Police department officials are keeping a watch on developments and track things in this connection.

"We have been saying this from the beginning, and the High Court too during the hijab verdict had suggested the possibility of some unseen hands behind the hijab row...now it is proved, because Al-Qaeda people are now releasing videos," Jnanendra said in response to a question on Zawahiri praising Muskaan.

"How things are happening, what is the link. All these things are being looked into by the police...they will find out," he added.

At the peak of hijab row in February, Muskan Khan, a second-year BCom student in Mandya was heckled by a group of students, wearing saffron shawl, for entering the college with hijab.

As they shouted "Jai Shri Ram", Muskan retorted by shouting "Allah-hu-Akbar." Following this, college authorities intervened and
brought the situation under control.?

Condemning the statement by a terror group into the internal matters, Higher Education Minister C N Ashwath Narayn said, ?"action will be taken against organisations and people linked to them".

He said the state government has not brought any legislation against practices of any community and was only following the law.(With PTI inputs)
