Few days back I read a news on internet that 12.3 million Turkish citizens has signed a petition to lift the controversial ban on Hijab on public places. Ankara Government has imposed ban of head scarves in public places.
It is very shocking to see that like some European countries Hijab ban is also placed in Turkey. To impose any dress code to public is not suitable. Several massive protests and civil obedience was observed in Turkey to lift the ban.
Confederation of Public Servants’ Trade Unions collected million signatures against the controversial ban. Turkey has no official state religion, however 90% population of Turkey is Muslims, therefore it will be wise to lift this ban which has hurt sentiments of millions of people.
