A Congress MLA, Zameer Ahmed, had a shocker today when wading into the Hijab Row in Karnataka, he said rapes happen because women don’t wear hijab.
“Hijab means ‘parda’ (veil) in Islam… It is meant for hiding the beauty of girls when they come of age. Today you can see that the rape rate is the highest in India. What is the reason for this? The reason is that several women don’t wear hijab,” said the MLA, Zameer Ahmed.
“This practice has not started today but has been in practice for years,” the Congress MLA was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
