New Delhi: Referring to the Sri Lankan attack, the Shiv Sena said that even in India, there should be a ban on Burqa in view of security. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday slammed the Shiv Sena's article in its mouthpiece 'Saamna' which had demanded the imposition of a ban on burqa in view of the national security.
Slamming Shiv Sena's article in its mouthpiece, Owaisi said that it was a violation of the Model Code of conduct and urged the Election Commission to take notice of it. "Wearing a burqa is a matter of choice and it has become a security threat, so does the Sadhvi's outfit," he said.

AIMIM President quipped that earlier Shiv Sena used to heavily criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi but now they have joined hands and are together. In an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamna, Shiv Sena called for a ban on burqa as has been done in Sri Lanka following the Easter explosions there. It said that the ban is as necessary as the surgical strikes were and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to show courage to go forward with it.
"This restriction has been recommended as an emergency measure to ensure the security forces do not encounter difficulties in identifying anybody. People wearing face-masks or burqas could pose a threat to national security," said the Sena in an editorial in the party mouthpieces, 'Saamana' and 'Dopahar Ka Saamana'.
