| Aligarh, April 13: An Aligarh-based NGO has urged Indians to boycott French goods to protest the ban on the burqa in France.
The Forum for Muslim Studies and Analysis has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, saying the ban violated both human rights and woman's rights.
The memorandum has urged New Delhi to suspend imports from France -- and called upon Indians to boycott French goods.
"Forcing a woman to show her face is not only against human rights but also vulgar," said the group's general secretary, Jasim Mohammad. (IANS) |
