Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Trust, one of the ladies part of the group distributing flowers said that nobody has the right to decide about one’s attire.
“Hijab is our choice and nobody can force and dictate us what we should wear or eat. Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) has maintained that women should wear veil and not mingle with men,” she said.
Earlier, in South Kashmir’s Shopian district, a protest in support of hijab had erupted. (KNT)
