On February 11, Karnataka High Court passed an interim order asking students not to wear any religious dress to class in educational institutions that have prescribed uniforms. Several district administrations in Karnataka have subsequently forced Muslim students and even teachers<\/a> to remove hijabs and burqas before entering college premises.<\/p>\n

A day after the court passed the interim order, a clip of actor-dancer Rakhi Sawant in hijab was shared by a plethora of accounts on social media, including the Facebook page AIMIM Amberpet Constituency<\/a> [over 40K followers]. This clip has gained close to four million views. The video’s caption reads, “Rakhi Sawant arrives in Hijab at gym\u2026” The post gives the impression that the incident is recent and Sawant wore a hijab in solidarity with protesting students.<\/p>\n

On the same day, Aaj Tak journalist Ashraf Wani<\/a> posted an image of Rakhi from the above-mentioned clip and wrote, “Rakhi Sawant supported #Hijab.”<\/p>\n
