India says ‘motivated comments’ not welcome as US, Pakistan wade in Hijab row

After the United States and Pakistan waded in the Karnataka hijab row, the ministry of external affairs on Saturday said that “motivated comments” on India’s internal issues are not welcome. The ministry said in a statement that the matter regarding dress code is under judicial examination and the issues are resolved through its constitutional framework and mechanism.

“A matter regarding dress code in some educational institutions in the State of Karnataka is under judicial examination by the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka,” the ministry said.

The hearing in Karnataka high court will resume on Monday. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has declined to list the case for urgent hearing.
