New Delhi, Feb 21: 'Dangal' actor Zaira Wasim has reacted to the ongoing hijab controversy in Karnataka on Saturday. The ongoing unrest in the state of Karnataka over whether students should be permitted to wear hijab in educational institutions has caught the attention of many celebrities including veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar, and actor Sonam Kapoor among others. Former actor Zaira Wasim is the latest to use her social media power to react on the same. On Twitter Zaira posted a long note in which she spoke about "the inherited notion of hijab being a choice is an ill-informed one." The 'Secret Superstar' actor's post comes days after several women in Karnataka were heckled by protestors for wearing a hijab. "It's often either a construct of convenience or ignorance. Hijab isn't a choice but an obligation in Islam. Likewise, a woman who wears the hijab is fulfilling an obligation enjoined upon her by the God she loves and has submitted herself to," the 21-year-old shared. She added, "I, as a woman who wears the hijab with gratitude and humility, resent and resist this entire system where women are being stopped and harassed for merely carrying out a religious commitment." A bench of the three-judge Bench of Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justices Krishna S Dixit and JM Khazi was hearing the various petitions challenging the ban on Hijab in educational institutes in the state. Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi, appearing for the Karnataka government, said that the state has taken the stand that Hijab does not come under the essential religious practice of Islam.
