A British Sikh parliamentarian, Tanmanjeet Singh, addressed the British Parliament about Karnataka’s Hijab row. In the UK Parliament, he demanded Prime Minister Boris Johnson for an apology over racist remarks he made about Muslim women in burqas.
“When will the prime minister finally apologize for his derogatory and racist remarks?” Dhesi asked with chants as lawmakers supported him. Moreover, he added, “Mr. Speaker, if I decide to wear a turban or you decide to wear a cross or he decides to wear a kippah or a skullcap or she decides to wear a hijab or a burqa, does that mean that it is open season for right honorable members of this House to make derogatory and divisive remarks about our appearance?”
Furthermore, social media widely supported Dhesi for his stance on the issue.
