Burka

Burka

Recently Sri Lanka banned Burka and some madrassas. Some people are celebrating it and some are calling it a dictatorship.

Reasons in support of ban

  • Burka is an oppression of women
  • Burka takes away the freedom
  • Burka is a double standard of society. Why is it not applicable for males?
  • This will enhance security in public places
  • This is important for national security
  • It will put a halt on imposters and people hiding their identity
  • It will bring equality in society
  • It will prevent unwanted attention, harassment, bullying, name-calling, and violence

Reasons to oppose this decision

  • It is an attack on personal choice
  • It is an attack on religious beliefs
  • It is a violation of religious freedom
  • It is unnecessary
  • It is going to increase division and animosity in society
  • It will increase the feeling of discrimination and also radicalization
