Hema Malini on Karnataka hijab controversy

Hema Malini has strongly reacted to the controversy that erupted after students from Government Girls PU college in the Udupi district, Karnataka, were allegedly denied entry because of their hijab, a head covering worn by Muslim women. Speaking to ANI, the actress turned politician stated, “Schools are for education and religious matters should not be taken there. Every school has a uniform that should be respected. You can wear whatever you want outside the school.”
