Is hijab row part of an elaborate toolkit to divide Indians?

India's Charge d'Affaires Suresh Kumar refuted all allegations levelled by the Pakistan Foreign Office over the Karnataka hijab controversy. According to sources, the Indian diplomat called Pakistan's claims "baseless" and conveyed to officials that "India is a secular country".

Not only that, even Pakistan's senior ministers and Malala Yousafzai too waded into the ongoing hijab row on Wednesday, with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi saying that depriving Muslim girls of education is a grave violation of fundamental human rights.

Hitting out at Pak, AIMIM chief Asaduddin said, "Pakistan should not lecture India on girl education. Malala was shot there. They failed to provide security to their girls and are now lecturing India."
