by Razeshta Sethna, The News International, Pakistan - The headscarf remains the most charged issue in Turkey today, which has taken the form of a politicised ongoing battle between the country's politicians and its secular elite that have long ruled the state. The argument is that even though wearing the headscarf may be a political symbol, it cannot be banned as there is no legal justification. Erdogan is said to have stated that "in a world were freedoms are debated, where everyone dresses up the way they want to everywhere they go," the ban being lifted makes perfect sense.
