BJP MLA From Rajasthan’s Hawa Mahal, Balmukund Acharya, Objected To Girls Wearing Hijab At Government School

BJP MLA from Rajasthan’s Hawa Mahal, Balmukund Acharya, has objected to girls wearing the hijab at a government school, prompting Cabinet minister Kirodi Lal Meena to say he will talk to Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma about enforcing a ban on the head covering in all government and private schools in the state. On Monday, Acharya visited the Government Girls Secondary School in Jaipur’s Gangapol locality. In a video that surfaced afterwards, he can be seen pulling up a school administrator over some students wearing the hijab. In another video, he is seen asking school authorities to stop students from wearing the hijab in school, which has a mix of Hindu and Muslim children.
