The Karnataka hijab issue is catching on in the country. Everyone is expressing their opinion on this matter. Recently, Sonam Kapoor also reacted on the hijab case. She compared hijab to Sikh turban on social media, due to which she is now embroiled in controversies. Now BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has got furious over Sonam’s statement and he has reprimanded the actress fiercely.
Turban can be a choice, but hijab is not: Sonam
Actually, Sonam Kapoor, reacting to the hijab case, made a post on the social media story, which also had 2 photos. One photo showed a Sikh wearing a turban, while the other showed a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. Along with these two photos, Sonam wrote, “Turban can be a choice, but hijab is not.”
Manjinder Singh reprimanded Sonam
Manjinder Singh Sirsa shared this post of Sonam Kapoor and wrote in response, “Dastar or ‘Dast-e-yaar’ means ‘Hand of God’. It is not an option, but the blessings of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It is an integral part of the identity of the Sikhs. It is absolutely wrong to compare the dastar and the hijab in this context.”
Conflicting two religions by sharing controversial post is wrong
The BJP leader further said, “Sonam has shared a very controversial post on her Instagram. First of all, I would like to say to Sonam Kapoor that by putting such controversial posts, it is very difficult to fight between two religions.” It is wrong. The dastar you have compared is very important for Sikhs. It is a part of our body, not an accessory.”
be an artist and do your own thing
Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, “Your equating hijab with turban is absolutely wrong. All religions have their own beliefs. These beliefs should also be maintained, but I condemn in strong words what you have deliberately done like this. I want to tell Sonam that your work is that of an artist and you do your work.”
These celebs also reacted to the hijab issue
Before Sonam Kapoor, many Bollywood celebs including Kangana Ranaut, Javed Akhtar, Hema Malini, Richa Chadha, Swara Bhaskar, Kim Sharma, Kamal Haasan, Neeraj Ghaywan have also given their reaction by sharing posts on this matter. Javed Akhtar had said that he has never been in support of hijab or burqa. But, bullying of girls by the mob is not ‘masculinity’. Richa Chadha had said that she spits on such incidents. On this ruckus in the school-college regarding the uniform, Hema Malini had talked about respecting the uniform in the school. On the other hand, Swara Bhaskar shared the post and called this incident in Karnataka shameful.
