Srinagar, Oct 1: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq Thursday expressed concern over the controversy related to hijab at GMC Doda saying that preventing a woman from wearing hijab is contrary to the fundamental right to freedom of religion guaranteed by the Constitution of India.
