Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], February 26 (ANI): Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar on Saturday, referring to the hijab row in Karnataka that made the headlines this month, said that hijab is not mandatory in many Islamic nations and some people in India are raking up the issue for political ideology.
