Dozens of girls can be seen playing football and cricket to show solidarity with the females in Karnataka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Awaiting Bro \ud83d\ude4f<br><br>No this is not Kabul but India, muslim girls playing football amid fear of not exposing any body part , in support of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Hijab?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hijab<\/a> in a college in Madhya Pradesh. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YSLzR8s6Wa\">pic.twitter.com\/YSLzR8s6Wa<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Vivek Sirohi \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@VivekSirohiKAKU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VivekSirohiKAKU\/status\/1491372611238252544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On being asked why these girls were playing with burkhas, one of the girls said that their aim is to convey that they can do anything they want in all fields, without the hijab being a hindrance. In fact, wearing the hijab brings them a sense of pride and does not cause any discomfort. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These females made a show of how they can do anything while wearing a parda. From becoming doctors and engineers to playing sports, the hijab does not restrict them from achieving anything at all. One of the females said that even if any one of them becomes an IAS, they still will not lose their hijab as it is their religious identity. They are immensely proud of being Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the females said that the situation in Karnataka is entirely wrong and unfair. The others agreed. They questioned that if there were no rules against wearing hijab, how can they be imposed now. They condemned those who are stopping females from attending colleges while wearing hijab, and said that studies and hijab are two completely different and unrelated matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They made it crystal clear that they will never quit wearing the hijab. If anyone forces them to, they will fight protest in unison, just like in Karnataka. One of the females said that the hijab does not hurt anyone, in fact, it is a Muslim female\u2019s right to wear a parda if she wishes to. She said that if the government wants a strict dress code in schools and colleges, then they should allow females to wear hijabs if they wish to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, a student in Karnataka was heckled by boys wearing saffron scarves for wearing hijab. This incident took place in Mandya. The video of this incident went viral and many people came in support for the girl. The boys were chanting Jai Shri Ram, in response of which the girl shouted Allah Hu Akbar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid the ongoing Hijab protests in Karnataka, videos of Muslim girls playing sports while wearing their hijab have surfaced from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":280769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Hijab Row: Burqa-clad students in Madhya Pradesh play football, cricket, say they won\u2019t give up hijab\n\n#HijabBan #HijabRow\n","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1497,75987],"tags":[121191,120983,121177,121370],"yst_prominent_words":[40687,9969,23903,42319,23604,22975,4812,5963,4170,25383,26776,28192,32747,6635],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2022\/02\/09185714\/Untitled-design-5-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280759"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280759"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=280759"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=280759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
