Double Standards! Malala Yousafzai again flips from her previous stand on Hijab, supports the ongoing Hijab row

Once again showing her double standards, Nobel laureate Pakistani activist, Malala Yousafzai, who herself has once said that she does not think a woman should wear a veil in court or places, has now jumped into support of the ongoing Hijab row. Taking a U-turn from her previous statement, the so-called well-known women's rights activist, who often utters words of support for Afghan women who are facing violence under the Taliban regime, has asked Indian leaders to ensure that Muslim women are not marginalised.

 

 

Citing a news article published by a left-inclined portal, Scroll, she said, "Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women. "

 

Ironically, she is the same Malala Yusuf, who, in the biography book "I am Malala", talked about their orthodox customs of wearing hijab. and said that wearing a burqa is like walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through. She wrote, "They were forcing women to wear burqas. Wearing a burqa is like walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through, and on hot days, it’s like an oven. At least I didn't have to wear one. "

 

Going further, in her book, she has also admitted that she doesn't wear a hijab during her school ceremonies. She also wrote, "One day at school there was a parents’ day and a prize-giving ceremony, I came out and in front of all the boys I recited one poem, I wasn’t wearing a veil."

 

In 2013, she also said that she does not think a woman should wear a veil in court or places where it is necessary to show her customs. She was awarded the Nobel Prize for raising her voice for her right to education and freedom for girls. It is very shocking to see, the "women's activist" who herself opposed the concepts of the Hijab, has now supported Indian girls over the permission to wear the Hijab. 

 

If she genuinely supports Hijab row and thinks that it's women's right to wear Hijab, why does she remain silent when Norway bans Burqa, Niqab in schools and colleges? Why doesn't she start the Islamic practise on her own?

 

By supporting the hijab row, she has exposed herself by showing her double standards in front of the world. It is not the first time. Earlier, she did a total U-Turn on marriage as well.
