Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged the centre to immediately put a complete ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI). Since the statement has come amid the ongoing hijab row, a few people are relating it with hijab.
However, the chief minister asserted that his stand on the PFI is “not because of the hijab issue.” “Assam has urged the central government to immediately impose a complete ban on PFI, not because of the hijab issue.
This is their democratic right, but because of their direct participation in subversive activities and radicalization,” he was quoted as saying by ANI on Saturday.
Recently, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that there should be no controversy regarding Hijab. Quran Sharif focuses on education, not hijab. ”It is important to understand whether education or hijab is more important.
The biggest responsibility of Muslims is education,” Assam CM made this statement amid the controversy over the hijab in Karnataka. Notably, these days Assam CM is the headlines sometimes for questioning the parenthood of Rahul Gandhi and sometimes for seeking suggestions from the public to change the names of places reflecting the culture, tradition and civilization of the state.
