Here, @KalpanaWilson asks Karnataka Edu Minister @drashwathcn "U spoke abt equity & inclusion being at the heart of ur policy on education & in particularly women from marginalised community, I wonder if u c any contradiction with what we r seeing under ur leadership..
#HijabBan

'We've seen young Muslim girls being systematically excluded from their colleges purely coz they're expressly their faith by wearing a hijab. That under ur watch we've seen these students being taunted & harassed by gangs shouting Islamophobic abuses empowered by ruling party.'

'Under ur watch we've seen Muslims women teachers being humiliated at school gate & compelled to uncover simple to pursue their employment & most recently we've seen an EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION in Karnataka being used for an arms training camp by bajrangdal..'

'An educational institution used for an arms training camp by the Bajrangdal which is violent militant organisation responsible for many mob lynchings & murders of Muslims, Christians, Dalits, so I wonder weather the Minister really sees a contradiction there what U've just said'

Here's how he responds. Says let's focus our questions on Education 🤡

Her response was to statement
"There's no question of discrimination, we as philosophy & culture 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', We came 4 universal human values. India is knwn for tolerance, inclusiveness, there's no question of discrimination of any person, We live in Communal harmony
