Digital Desk: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma praised the Karnakata High Court's Hijab judgement on Tuesday, saying it was the correct step toward enforcing the Quran's diktat. In an interview with the media, he stated that kids should prioritise education before religious attire. Maintaining that pupils are allowed to wear whatever they choose outside of the classroom, he assuaged Muslim fears by stating that the ruling is not against them.

Rather, the judgment is the right step towards implementing the diktat of the Quran," Himanta Biswa Sarma added.
