Chess star Soumya Swamynathan said a lady needs to wear a headscarf (burqa) according to Iran traditions and the player from different nations are permitted to play the competition just in the event that they take after the burqa run the show. She said that Iranian Law is an infringement of her essential rights in this way, she has no other alternative to quit the competition.

She expressed “I am extremely sorry to learn that I have requested to be pardoned from the Indian Women’s group for the inevitable Asian Nations Cup (Asian Team) Chess Championship 2018, to be held at Iran from 26 July – 4 Aug 2018, as I don’t wish to be compelled to wear a Headscarf or Burkha.

I locate the Iranian law of mandatory Headscarf to be in coordinate infringement of my fundamental Human Rights including my entitlement to flexibility of articulation, and ideal to opportunity of thought, inner voice and religion. It appears that under the current conditions, the main route for me to ensure my rights isn’t to go to Iran. I am extremely disillusioned to see that player’s rights and welfare are given such less significance while designating or potentially sorting out authority titles.

I comprehend the coordinators anticipating that us should wear our National Team Dress or Formals or Sporting clothing for our amusements amid official titles, however without a doubt there is the wrong spot for an enforceable religious clothing regulation in Sports.

It is a colossal respect for me to speak to India everytime I am chosen in the National Team and I profoundly lament that I will be not able take an interest in such a critical title. While we sportspersons will make a few changes for our game, continually giving it top need in our life, a few things basically can’t be endangered.”
