Amid the ongoing hijab row, BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Thakur said that people who are not safe in their houses need to wear a hijab.
"No need to wear a hijab anywhere. People who are not safe in their houses need to wear a hijab. While outside, wherever there is 'Hindu Samaj', they are not required to wear a hijab especially at places where they study," Thakur said at an event in Bhopal.
The BJP leader on Wednesday said headscarves will not be tolerated if they are worn in educational institutions other than madrassas. The Lok Sabha member from Bhopal also said that Hindus worship women and don't see them in evil manner.
"You have madrassas. We have nothing to do if you wear hijab or apply khijab (hair colour) there (in madrassas). You wear the attire required there and follow their discipline. But if you distort the knowledge and discipline of schools and colleges in the country and start wearing hijab and applying khijab then it will not be tolerated," she said.
