Allahabad HC: Hijab not an essential part of Islam; religion and politics clash following the court’s verdict!

The debate over the hijab has intensified once again following a significant ruling by the Allahabad High Court. A Muslim student in Class 11 at a school in Prayagraj had sought permission to wear the hijab along with the school uniform, but the High Court dismissed the petition. The court made key observations regarding the school’s dress code, equality, and discipline. Following the verdict, Muslim religious leaders expressed their objections, while political rhetoric surrounding the issue has also escalated.
