Hijab Ban- Karnataka High Court Full Bench Hearing (Day 10)- LIVE UPDATES

Justcie Dixit: Please show mercy to other friends also. You said 5 min you have taken 10 minutes.

Dar: Wearing of hijab is not hurting anybody.

Justice Dixit: give us the citation, don't read.

Dar : If same scarf identical to uniform is worn, what heavens will fall? If you put in a scarf, how can it affect public order. If you desecrate the idols, it can hurt feelings and cause public order problems. But how can covering cause public order problem

Dar : Scarf is not causing any problem to morality. Rather, it enhances morality.

Dar : Scarf is a small issue for such a big country. We should be open minded about this. This is not going to give any effect to the health. Covering the chest..it purifies...it gives modesty..because vulnerable parts, face, chest, we are covering...enhances reputation of women

Dar: We have protection udner Article 25 and we also have protection of the preamble of the constitution.

We are such country, our economy is growing day by day. It is not a banana republic. We live in harmony, brotherhood.

Dar : Now I will come to the constitutional aspect. Religion I have covered.

CJ : We have heard you on the religious point. Legal points others have raised...

Dar: This is command from allah. If we have to lead a good life, we have to follow it. Day of the judgment we have to face. Therefore we advise our sisters, mothers and daughter to wear it.

Dar : Whatever prophet has said is binding, how can we ignore. Then we are not Muslims.

Dar: Muslims offer prayers, women and men differently. But during Haj everyone is together. Even during Haj, covering of head by women is not exempted by the prophet

Dar : See the generosity of the Prophet, Prophet allowed it, allowed them to keep their essential religious practice .We are in a democratic country, will a head scarf lead to public order,
