This comes after Kangana Ranaut's controversial statement wherein she said that women should show courage by not wearing a burqa in Afghanistan. Ranaut was lashed out at by Shabana Azmi.
Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor had shared a photo on her Instagram story which shows a man in a turban and a woman in a hijab. "This can be a choice" is written underneath the photo with a turban while the other photo of a woman in the hijab has text that reads, "But this can¡¯t?".

Dastar or ¡°Dast-e-Yar¡± means¡°the hand of God¡±. It is not a choice but a blessing of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji & an integral part of Sikhs¡¯ identity. Comparing Dastar & Hijab are unjustified & unwanted in this context @sonamakapoor pic.twitter.com/CZL83TVY3W

'If turban can be a choice, then why not hijab'-CLONE Sonam Kapoor !
You synthetic clone don't know that turban is 'article of faith' of Sikhs and granted by Constitution of India.
Hijab is Geo-cultural attire !!
Thank you. I required a reminder that Bollywood and people like Sonam Kapoor are still undiluted trash. https://t.co/yJgEMvujMN

Stuff you say when you lack a basic college education. Sonam Kapoor's IQ is less than her weight.

Sonam Kapoor @sonamakapoor I am damn sure you know nothing about Turban and hence you arecomparing Orange with Apples. Turban is not a piece of cloth that covers our head, it's our pride, our honour, our uniform, part of our body. We made innumerable sacrifices for this turban. https://t.co/9TLu9QPG7L

Meanwhile, Karnataka High Court in its order said, "Pending consideration of all these petitions, we restrain all the students regardless of their religion or faith from wearing saffron shawls (Bhagwa) scarfs, hijab, religious flags or the like, within the classroom, until further orders."
"We make it clear that this order is confined to such of the institutions wherein the College Development Committees have prescribed the student dress code/uniform".
It also added that the right to freedom of religion was not absolute. "However, such a right not being absolute is susceptible to reasonable restrictions as provided by the Constitution of India. Whether wearing of hijab in the classroom is part of the essential religious practice of Islam in the light of constitutional guarantees, needs a deeper examination.
"Ours being a civilized society, no person in the name of religion, culture or the like can be permitted to do any act that disturbs public peace and tranquility. Endless agitations and closure of educational institutions indefinitely are not happy things to happen. The hearing of these matters on an urgent basis is continuing," the full bench said.
