Ustaz Al-Amin noted that the state government should take full responsibility for the hospital bills and incidental expenses of the injured .
The Muslims youths chairman
appealed to the state government to ensure full implementation of the judgements of the State High Court and Court of Appeal on the ownership of the schools and unhindered use of hijab in all government owned- schools.
