AIMIM chief takes ‘beti bachao, beti padhao’ dig at PM Modi

As the “hijab row” in Karnataka escalated on Tuesday, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, “The BJP government is not allowing our daughters to wear a hijab and study but PM Narendra Modi talks about empowering Muslim women with the triple talaq law.
Is this his ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign pitch?” Owaisi was speaking at a public rally in Sambhal, reports Ishita Mishra. Owaisi was referring to the controversy that began in January this year at a government college in Udupi.Six girls wearing headscarves were asked to leave campus. On Tuesday, protests took a violent turn.
