Hijab Ban In Karnataka- Supreme Court Hearing- DAY-3- LIVE UPDATES

Pasha concludes.

Bench says it will continue on Monday at 2PM.

Pasha refers to verses in Quran, and says Quran mandates respect towards other religions.

Pasha cites the verse on non-believers: "O you disbelievers! I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. I will never worship what you worship, nor will you ever worship what I worship. You have your way, and I have my Way.”

Justice Gupta : Kamat made a submission that religions are manifestation of the same God. It was in that context we asked do all religions accept the same thought.

Pasha: A survey of Sikh students in France show how they felt humiliated to enter school. It showed how they lost their identity and how they wanted to leave the country. Even Muslims. Muslim students were negatively impacted.

When Justice Gupta asked Pasha to not make comparison with Sikh practices.

Pasha: Islam is also there for 1400 years and the Hijab is also present.

Pasha : The example is immediate and proxime. The example of France..we are deluding ourselves.

Justice Dhulia : We are not going there. If we are going there, we are go nowhere.

Pasha : We are deluding ourselves if we think we are like France.

Justice Gupta : We don't want to be at par with France or Austria. We are Indians and want to be in India.

Justice Gupta : Please don't make any comparison with Sikhism. These are all practices well established, well engrained in the culture of the country.

Justice Gupta : There was a case in Punjab. A college run by SGPC. The condition of admission was that anybody who won't follow tenets of Sikhism can't get. A girl was denied admission on ground she trimmed her eyebrows. and the matter is pending here.

Pasha : I went to an all boys School, fortunately or unfortunately. And in my class, there were several Sikh boys who wore turban of the same colour of uniform. It has been established that it will not cause violation of discipline.

Justice Gupta : Morning Kamat mentioned Kara. Kara is one of the Ks. Kesh, Kanga..these are also Ks.

Pasha : Exact same analogy applies to Islam. These are fundamental tenets of Islam.
