Switzerland burqa ban: There is a debate in the country and the world regarding hijab and burqa. There have been fierce protests against the hijab in Iran for the past several days, in which many people have also lost their lives. Meanwhile, the government of Switzerland has sent a draft law to parliament, demanding the imposition of fines on those violating the national ban on face coverings of up to 1,000 Swiss francs (Rs 82 thousand).
The draft law was introduced in Parliament on Wednesday. This comes after a referendum on banning face coverings held last year. The proposed ban, also known as the 'burqa ban', was supported by 51.2 percent of the voters. At the same time, it was criticized as Islamophobic and seductive at the time.
This statement issued
"The purpose of the ban on face coverings is to ensure public safety and order," it said in a statement. Punishment is not a priority." The initiative to ban face coverings was initiated by the Eggerkinger Komiti, a group including politicians from the right-wing Swiss People's Party. The name of the burqa or niqab is not mentioned in the bill.
Ban on face covering in public places
The bill prohibits people from hiding their faces in public places such as public transport, restaurants, or walking on the street. It has been instructed that it should be visible to the eyes, nose, and mouth. For example, a Muslim woman can wear a hijab covering her hair, but cannot wear a burqa. However, they are allowed to wear it in places of worship.
