Indian leaders must stop marginalisation of Muslim women: Malala Yousafzai


New Delhi, Feb 9 (IANS): Speaking about the ongoing hijab row in India, Nobel laureate and education rights activist Malala Yousafzai has said that the "objectification of women -- for wearing less or more -- persists", Geo News reported.

Taking to Twitter, Malala talked about the hijab controversy raging in India's state Karnataka where Muslim students wearing the hijab are being barred from entering college premises.

Malala said: "Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying."

The activist spoke against the decision and urged the Indian leaders to stop the "marginalisation of Muslim women".

"College is forcing us to choose between studies and the hijab. Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists - for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women," Malala said in a tweet.

    Hey Malala, Why don't you go back to you home country (if you dare) and then make statements both pro or against woman issues? Why did you leave your country and have settled in the West? Please mind your own business, and leave Indian matters for Indians to settle, your remarks are not appreciated.

    How can you say that she disappeared? She took a solid stand for her fellow students and because of her stand, she had to take bullets. She was air-lifted to England and she is alive today because of quick help provided to her by a foreign country. She was living in Pakistan and can you expect a common person like her to talk against Taliban or issue statement against them, the dreaded terrorists? Would you do that at the cost of your and your family's life?
