Parliamentarians in Kuwait urged their government to impose an immediate ban on the entry of the members of India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) into the country.
The development comes in the wake of harassment of Muslim girls and women for wearing a Hijab in India, Kuwait-based media reported.
Majbal Sharkah, who is a senior lawyer from the country said,”A group of powerful Kuwaiti parliamentarians has demanded the govt. of Kuwait to put an immediate ban on the entry of any member of the ruling BJP of India into Kuwait. We can’t sit back and watch Muslim girls being publicly persecuted they said. Time for the Ummah to unite.”
