“Today whole of Karnataka, the entire country is taking pride in her act. She has shown what is the real power of women. After seeing her brave act, other women who are being pressurized, subjected to harassment and whoever is meted with injustice, they can also confront such acts,” he asserted.
Her act against those zaalims (cruel people) is commendable, he added.
“Wearing hijab is a constitutional right. One can wear clothes of her choice. You have a problem with her hijab or with the fact that she is getting educated,” the Congress MLA said.
“There are crores of brothers behind Muskaan to protect her right of wearing hijab. I felt happy after meeting her family,” he added.
