Amid the ongoing hijab row in Karnataka, AIMIM chief Asadudding Owaisi has come out in support of Muslim women and prayed that are successful in fighting for their right to wear a hijab.

While addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh, Owaisi said, "What do you have to do with what our Muslim women wear? If you don’t want to wear anything please go ahead. SC stated in a judgement that the right to choice is a Fundamental Right. People have the choice to wear what they want. When Asaduddin Owaisi can go into the Parliament with beard and cap, why can’t Muslim girls go to school wearing hijab or niqaab?"
