Congress responds to 'Smash Patriarchy' backlash, says hijab is a matter for religious experts
Following BJP's criticism of the 'Smash Patriarchy' movement in light of Rahul Gandhi's comments on the Manusmriti, Congress leader Pawan Khera stated that the question of whether the hijab is a mandatory part of Islam should be left to religious scholars. He emphasized that the Congress party advocates for women's agency and bodily autonomy, asserting that every woman—no matter her religion, class, or caste—ought to have the freedom to decide for herself whether she wants to wear a ghoonghat, a hijab, or any other attire.
