Portugal Mein Niqab Par Ban – Violation Par Heavy Fine!
View this post on Instagram
Portugal ki Parliament ne ek controversial bill pass kar diya hai jisme public places par face cover karne par pabandi lagayi gayi hai. Al Jazeera aur Reuters ke mutabiq, yeh bill far-right party “Chega” ne propose kiya tha — aur ab isko majority support mil chuka hai.
Bill ke mutabiq, burqa ya niqab jaisi face-covering outfits jo sirf aankhon ke aas-paas chhoti jagah chhodti hain, unhe public jagahon par pehnna mana hoga. Lekin exceptions bhi rakhe gaye hain — jaise mosques, airports, aur diplomatic buildings mein yeh restriction apply nahi hoga.
Agar koi rule tod ta hai, to us par €200 se €4,000 (approx ₹18,000–₹3.5 lakh) tak ka fine lag sakta hai. Ab yeh bill President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa ke sign ka wait kar raha hai — woh chahein to isey veto bhi kar sakte hain ya Constitutional Court ko bhej sakte hain.
Agar bill law ban gaya to Portugal bhi un European countries ki list mein shamil ho jaayega jahan face-cover par ban hai, jaise Austria, Belgium, aur Netherlands.
Critics ka kehna hai ki yeh step specially Muslim women ko target karta hai, jabki supporters bol rahe hain ki yeh “security aur social transparency” ke liye zaroori hai.
