New Delhi April 16 (Islam on Rise): India’s leading Islamic seminary, Darul Uloom Deoband while terming as 'undemocratic' and against 'secularism' the ban imposed on veil in France, on Thursday has appealed to the government to raise the issue with the European country.
In a joint statement issued to the press, acting Vice Chancellor of the seminary Maulana Abul Kasmi Banarsi and Deputy Vice Chancellor Abdul Khalique Madrasi said, 'The veil is an integral part of our religion. Baning it is against the freedom of the religion.'
They said the move was 'undemocratic' and against 'secularism.'
They also appealed to the government to raise the issue with the French government and ask them to withdraw their decision.
France on April 11 became the first country in Europe to apply a ban on the wearing of full-face coverings, including the Islamic niqab.
