Tabassum Shaik said she wanted to reach a position where she can fight against the "injustice" that is the government order mandating an uniform dress code in educational institutions.
Liberals on Twitter extensively shared an image that said, "Tabassum Shaik, the victim of the Hijab ban in Karnataka, tops the state board exam", while Tabassum herself has said that she preferred education over hijab.
Interestingly, Owaisi’s own party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) does not have a single woman in a top leadership position, with or without Hijab.
