News Claim: A picture of a girl called Muskan is going viral on social media regarding the hijab controversy. It is being claimed in the viral pictures that it is the same Muskan and Congress is behind this whole incident. Sharing the picture, a Facebook user wrote, "This is the girl from Karnataka, understand now, the whole game is of Congress’’.

News Verification: The woman in the viral photo is Amba Prasad, Congress MLA from Barkagaon in Jharkhand, and not student Muskan Khan from Mandya, Karnataka. Amba Prasad has also clarified this whole controversy by sharing the post on Twitter and said that wrong information is being shared using my picture. This is me, he tweeted. Barkagaon MLA from @INCIndia party. An attempt is being made to spread discord by calling this photo a girl in Karnataka's burqa, so let me tell you that everyone in our party has respect and rights. Be it saffron clothes or hijab.

News Verdict ayupp.com: We confirm that the viral image of a girl is not a burqa girl Muskan but a Congress MLA Amba Prasad.
