In recent times, such news has come out from different parts of the country, which has forced a large section of the society to think. Such banners have been put up at some jewelery shops located in Jhansi and some areas of Jharkhand, in which it has been said that women wearing burqa or niqab will be banned from entering the shop and shopping. After the appearance of these banners, anger is being seen among people associated with social, religious and human rights.
Patron of Jamiat Dawatul Muslimeen and well-known Deobandi scholar Maulana Qari Ishaq Gora has issued a video statement and registered a strong protest on this entire matter. He said that such restrictions are not only against the respect of women, but also reflect a dictatorial thinking. Maulana said that no shopkeeper can decide who will come to his shop in which attire.
women are being humiliated
Maulana Qari Ishaq Gora said in his statement that today on one hand women empowerment and women respect are talked about, while on the other hand women are being insulted on the basis of their dress. This is open discrimination and cannot be justified under any circumstances.
He also clarified that purdah, burqa, niqab or veil are not related to just one religion. In Indian tradition, women of different religions and communities have been observing purdah in their own ways. Even today, many women in rural areas remain veiled, which has always been accepted by the society. In such a situation, targeting only Muslim women is a step that harms social harmony.
Appeal to boycott shopkeepers
Maulana appealed to the women to socially and economically boycott the shopkeepers having such thinking. He said that one should not buy from a shopkeeper who does not respect women. Only when such people suffer financial loss will they be forced to change their thinking.
Demand for action from administration
Along with this, Maulana Qari Ishaq Gora also demanded from the government and administration that strict action should be taken against the shopkeepers who put up such discriminatory and derogatory banners. He said that the Constitution of the country gives equal rights to every citizen and it is legally wrong to discriminate against any citizen on the basis of religion or dress.
In the end he said that this is not just a matter of dress, but of deliberately targeting women of a particular community. If this is not stopped in time, then hatred and division in the society may increase further. He appealed to the people of all societies to maintain mutual brotherhood and protect the honor of women.
