Opponents of the ban on burqa in a Pakistani province protest

Islamabad, Ta. September 20, 2019, Friday

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, the decision to make burqa ie Abaya compulsory for students has been canceled. This has angered the country's politicians and religious leaders and has made it compulsory for the students to wear abaya.

In the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, students were forced to wear a burqa. The decision was endorsed by many but more than that, people voiced their opposition to the decision.

Since the decision was being criticized all over the country, the province's government had to withdraw the information associated with the decision. The government also clarified that the decision was not necessary and was taken without the permission of the Chief Minister.

Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammed Khan was outraged by the government withdrawing the mandate of abaya for students. He demanded that the instruction be re-enforced and said he would speak to the Prime Minister of Pakistan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister in this regard.

In a tweet, he called the hijab mandatory for girls a good step. At the same time, he disagreed with the hasty withdrawal, stating that the decision was in line with the principles of Islam and the Median regime.
