The Madras High Court on Thursday, 10 February, expressed its concern over the issue of religious attire being increasingly used by some forces to create a divide in the country.
"What is paramount? The country or religion? Really shocking that somebody is for hijabs and some for dhotis inside temples. What is the message you are sending ? Is this one country or divided on the basis of religion?" observed the Acting Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari of the High Court, as per The Hindu.
