The Karnataka BJP government on Tuesday released a list of petitioners in the ongoing Karnataka hijab controversy, who are all minors. The party alleged that Congress is using minor girls to stay relevant in politics.
The Karnataka BJP took to Twitter and wrote, "Five of the students involved in #HijabRow are minors. Don't CONgress leaders Sonia, Rahul & Priyanka have any guilt for using minor girls to stay relevant in politics? How low will they stoop to win elections?".
The Karnataka BJP also questioned Priyanka Gandhi-led Congress campaign in Uttar Pradesh 'Ladki Hun Lad Sakti Hun'. "Is this what "ladki hoo lad sakti hoon" means, @priyankagandhi?", BJP said.
BJP releases list of five minor petitioners.
Earlier as well, BJP has blamed the Congress party for stirring up the ongoing Hijab controversy in Karnataka. BJP alleges that Congress is trying benefit off of the controversy to polarize votes in Uttar Pradesh elections.
"Like always, CONgress has used the students at the centre of #HijabRow as pawns in its political games. It raked up the Hijab controversy using its proxies and created a narrative using its Ecosystem hoping that it will benefit from vote polarization in Uttar Pradesh Elections", read an earlier tweet by BJP.
Earlier on Monday, BJP leader Anurag Thakur also blamed the Congress Party and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS). He said, "Words of Congress and TRS sound similar to that of Pakistan. Whenever elections come, they do new experiments with issues like hijab or surgical strike, because they cannot compete with BJP as far as development is concerned. Questioning surgical strike shows the mindset of KCR".
