Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Chief Spokesperson – Madhya Pradesh Congress, Abbas Hafeez, has sent a legal notice to actor Kareena Kapoor over her social media post featuring a pendant bearing Quranic verses.
He says, “There is a pendant from the princely state of Bhopal, linked to the heritage of the Begums of Bhopal, which bears a verse from the Quran. For the Begums, this was a matter of faith, not a fashion accessory. It was customary for them to wear it while in seclusion… The way Kareena Kapoor has worn it, flaunting it as a fashion statement and posting pictures, is inappropriate, especially given the specific rituals associated with touching or reading verses from the Quran.
In this sense, the post is objectionable. She should remove those pictures and offer an apology. That is the primary demand in the legal notice I have sent… The Congress party has no stance on this. This is a personal matter of mine. It should not be linked to my party, my ideology, or my political position.”
