Chandigarh, March 14

A viral video showing an angry Iranian mother confronting a cleric who allegedly took her pictures secretly as she was not wearing a hijab has gone viral.

She says she fears for her safety.

The Iranian judiciary has initiated legal proceedings following the circulation of the video depicting the tense encounter.

The incident occurred at a hospital in the Iranian city of Qom, where the woman without a scarf was there for her child’s treatment.

The cleric was seen recording her with his phone, prompting the woman’s furious demand that the video be deleted.

In the video, the angry mother can be seen shouting at the cleric for taking photographs of her without the hijab while she was waiting with her child in a clinic.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
