AMT school ban on Abaya Calling Purdah system ‘source of infection’ is blasphemy : Aasiyeh | KNO

Chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Syedah Aasiyeh Andrabi, on Monday threatened to launch a mass agitation if the Government-run Ancillary Medical Training (AMT) School doesn’t withdraw the diktat asking female students not wear abaya or a veil. Andrabi said that this diktat is a direct attack on the Islamic affairs of Muslim women and it will have serious repercussions if not withdrawn.

The statement has come in reaction to the diktat issued by AMT school asking the girl students not to wear Abaya or cover face during their duty hours as it can be “source of infection during work”. “As Muslim women, we have pledged to the Almighty Allah that we will cover ourselves from head to toe. It is an obligation for us and being a Muslimah, it impossible for these daughters to remove the veil,” she added. Andrabi appealed the protesting students to remain steadfast on their stand as the whole Muslim nation is with them.

“I assure these pious daughters that we will never allow an anti-Islamic diktat to materialize. I warn the school administration that if this clause isn’t removed as soon as possible, we will launch a mass agitation which will have serious repercussions and the school administration will be responsible for it,” she said. “Razia Mehmood, the principal of the school, by name, seems to be a Muslim. She must keep it in mind that this is Jammu and Kashmir, a nation of Muslims; we will not tolerate the Hindutva culture here. We have sacrificed lakhs of our people in our struggle for not being with India, so such Brahmanical orders won’t be tolerated here,” she said. Andrabi said that terming of the abaya or veil as “a source of infection” by the principal was as ridiculous as the diktat is.

“Let me remind this doctor that whenever, a doctor operates a patient inside a operation theatre, he/she covers both the head and the face so that the patient or the doctor doesn’t catch infection. A sane person cannot say such things. So terming a veil a ‘source of infection’ is as malicious as the banning of Purdah system,” she added. “ Saying that a Purdah-an obligation for women and a part of faith- can be a ‘source of infection’ is blasphemy.

This Razia Mehmood has challenged an important tenet of Islamic faith by issuing such a dictatorial order,” she added. Andrabi said that in reality, this is nothing but a part of the war against Islam. “I salute the students who protested against this anti-Islamic order and assure them that we will continue to support them until this order is revoked,” she added. Meanwhile, Andrabi paid glowing tributes to the Mujahideen who were martyred during past few days in Dooru, Islamabad and Arizal, Budgam.

“Yesterday a great Mujahid Shahfat Ahmad Wani of Lashkar-e-Toiba and day before that two great scholarly (one was Hafiz-e-Quran) Mujahid of Jaesh-e-Mohammad achieved martyrdom in Dooru, Islamabad. Dukhtaran-e-Millat salutes these brave sons and prays that the Allah SWT accepts their martyrdom,” she added. Andrabi also hailed people for showing utmost respect to these martyrs by joining their funerals in massive numbers.

“The way people participated in the funeral processions and raised pro-Islam, pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans is a clear referendum that Kashmiris do not want to stay with India.” “It should serve as an eye-opener for India. India should read the writings on the wall and must understand that while the Mujahids sacrifice their lives, their heirs (the people) are objecting to Indian rule in whatever way they can. India must understand that its days here are numbered and very soon it has to leave Jammu and Kashmir,” she added (KNO)
