Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al Zawahiri has released a video on the hijab row and praising student Muskaan Khan for standing in defence of the headscarf and chanting 'Allah-hu-Akbar.
Karnataka Hijab Row: Karnataka Home Minister said the video statement released by Al-Qaeda chief Ayman Al Zawahiri on the hijab row proves involvement of "unseen hands" behind the row.
In the 9-minute video titled ‘the Noble Woman of India’, the believed-to-be-dead al-Zawahiri came alive and exhorted Indian Muslims to ‘react to this oppression' (against the hijab). He said he was so impressed with the video of Muskan Khan that he penned a poem for her. Calling her ‘sister’, al-Zawahiri said he was moved by her raising 'cries of Takbeer'.
