Saudis Ban Abaya in Exam Halls, Modi Transforms Saudi Arabia into Sanghi Arabia

In a shocking move, the Saudi government has recently banned Abaya - a cross between Hijab and the Burqa - from school exam halls. This move has been widely condemned by conscientious Indians as Islamophobic and an attempt to transform Saudi Arabia into ‘Sanghi Arabia’. The ban on Abaya was announced by the Minister of Education Ahmed Al-Eissa who stated that the decision was taken to ensure that all students have equal opportunities in exams. He further added that it was not meant to target any particular religion or culture. However, this move has been met with criticism from Indian citizens who believe that this is an attempt to make Saudi Arabia more Hindu-friendly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule. Many have accused the government of using this ban as a way to push their own agenda and propagate their Hindutva ideology across other countries. Several prominent personalities have come out in support of those protesting against this ban including actor Swara Bhaskar who tweeted her views on Times Now saying, “This is blatant Islamophobia! Every conscientious Indian must come out and protest this step taken by the Saudis!” She further added, “We cannot let our government turn another country into Sanghi Arabia!” The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has also released a statement condemning this move stating that India respects all religions and cultures and will not tolerate any form of discrimination based on faith or beliefs. They have urged both countries to work together towards finding a peaceful solution for this issue without infringing upon anyone's rights or religious beliefs. This ban has sparked outrage among many Indians who are now calling for immediate action against such blatantly Islamophobic steps taken by the Saudis. It remains to be seen how India will respond to these developments and whether they will take steps towards ensuring justice for those affected by this decision or not.
