‘Get Jawed Habib’s salons and training centres shut in 48 hours’ 
New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh BJP MLA Akash Vijayvargiya has asked the administration in MP’s Indore to get outlets of celebrity hairstylist Jawed Habib shut in 48 hours or face agitation.
In a video posted on Twitter, the MLA, who is the son of BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, said, “This is for all responsible officers of police and district administration. They should get Habib’s salons and training centres shut in 48 hours, or I am going to launch an agitation.”
Saying that he opposed Habib’s act, the MLA stated that he had “resolved” to not allow the stylist’s outlets to operate in Indore.
In June 2019, the BJP MLA had hit a civic official with a bat during an anti-encroachment drive.
After Vijayvargiya, Madhya Pradesh BJP spokesperson Neha Bagga urged that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan order the shutting of the hairstylist’s commercial establishments in the state.
Bagga also asked women, youth and teens to boycott Habib’s salons as his actions had made a mockery of a client’s faith.
A local BJP leader Sumit Mishra has sent a letter to BJP national president JP Nadda to expel Habib from the BJP.
Habib had joined the saffron party in April 2019.
Meanwhile, the hairstylist has apologised calling his action an attempt to make the seminar “interesting”.
“The attempt was made to make the seminar best and interesting, it was not done intentionally. I know that some people have been hurt by this action. I sincerely apologise for this and my mistake too,” he said.
Habib found himself in the soup for allegedly spitting on a woman’s head while styling her hair.
In a video of an incident that took place in Muzzafarnagar in Uttar Pradesh on January 3, the popular hairstylist is seen spitting on a woman’s head.
“If there is a scarcity of water, then use saliva,” he can be heard saying.
