HYDERABAD: TRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha on Thursday, February 10, 2022, penned a poem marking her protest against the “hijab row”.

"Wearing and applying Sindoor is my conscious choice. Wearing Hijab is Muskan’s choice. Let women decide what they are comfortable in embracing and wearing, " Kavitha tweeted along with her handwritten poem, “Hum Sab Hindustani”.

Kavitha, also former Nizamabad MP, in her poem spoke strongly about how despite the actions of divisive forces, we are all one - we are Indians.
