Karnataka hijab: Malala Yousafzai urges Indian leaders to stop marginalisation of Muslim women

Nobel laureate and women’s rights activist Malala Yousafzai on Tuesday expressed concern about students in Karnataka not being allowed to attend classes while wearing hijabs.

Several Bharatiya Janata Party leaders on Tuesday criticised Yousafzai for her statement, while some others praised her for speaking about Muslim girls being prevented from attending classes.
