Uttar Pradesh minister seeks ban on burqa now

UP minister Raghuraj Singh has kicked up another controversy by demanding a ban on burqas worn by Muslim women. The minister said that burqas were being used by 'terrorists' to conceal their identity, apparently in reference to protests by women protesting against CAA in the Shahjamal area in Agra. The minister further explained that wearing a burqa started in Arabian countries and is not an Indian custom.
