Muskan Khan the Sherni in Hijab - the lioness of Mandya

 

Muslim students have been demanding that they be allowed inside the classes wearing headscarves while some Hindu extreamist students are opposing this and started wearing saffron shawls, until Hijab is banned. One of the student in hijab says "The college is forcing us to choose between studies and the hijab. I never expected this to happen in our college, even though a similar incident happened recently in PU College, Udupi."

When a hijabi Student Muskan Khan arrived at P.E.S. College of Science, Arts & Commerce, Mandya, gets heckled by students wearing saffron shawls chanting Jai Shree Ram. Then in defence she raises her hand & says Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar courageously before being escorted by College Staff. 

"Bibi Muskan Khan  is the #SHERNI in #Hijab." - Mehdavia Times

"Who do they think they are to snatch my right? My Hijab is my right. Who they think they are!" - Bibi Muskan

Muskan informed that “Before me, a few other Muslim girls were also heckled in a similar manner. The college administration and the principal never prevented us from wearing the burqa, so why should I listen to outsiders?”

Her picture with raised hand chanting Allahu Akbar and the video of people wearing saffron shwals terrorising her chanting Jai Shree Ram became viral and she became the poster girl for the campaign to fight for the right to wear hijab. People took to internet to express their support to both the sides... while Muskan is been called as SHERNI, while those who surrounded he in hundreds are termed as Jackels. Her pictures, videos and interviews are flooded across all the media.

All our prayers are with her.  Proud to say that she is from my mohalla and my college. May Allah bless her and  protect all our sisters and daughters Aameen.

I personally called Janab Hussain Khan Ramzan Khan and congratulated him and his daughter yesterday night. ​Masha Allah he has raised a SHERNI... it was pleasure speaking with him yesterday night. 

Our district Mandya was never like this  before neither our college. We had a good unity in diversity, and enjoyed brotherhood among all the boys and girls of all religions. Hope peace will be restored soon and we don't get broken into pieces. 

I personally extend my gratitude and thanks to the Principal, HoDs, Lecturers and staff of P.E.S. College of Science, Arts & Commerce, Mandya for protecting and ushering her to safety. This shows that humanity and the core values of the institution are still alive.

Appearing on behalf of Muslim petitioners, senior advocate Devadatt Kamat argued in favour of wearing hijab in schools, stating that the headscarf is an integral part of the Islamic dress code as per Islamic scriptures.

Amid the hijab row engulfing more and more colleges in Karnataka, CM Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday ordered closure of all high schools and colleges for next three days in the state. Karnataka high court on Tuesday said, "We will go by reason, by law, not by passion or emotions." Students staged demonstrations outside Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College on Tuesday as a mark of protest against Muslim students wearing hijab. The students say they want equality and will wear this till Hijab is banned.

Justice Krishna Dixit has been hearing petitions filed by students of the Government Women’s Pre-University College seeking permission to wear hijabs in college. These students have been protesting for nearly a month. The court has posted the matter for further hearing on Wednesday.

Hijab is symbol of Islam, and is a common concern for all of us, we took the opportunity to extend our solidarity, that too she is a daughter of our neighborhood.
