voting rights of Purda Nashin women
The supreme court has ruled that the Muslim women must lift their veil if they exercise their franchise. although I respect supreme court, I feel it is not reasonable to deprive Muslim women of voting right just because they wear Burkah and cannot lift veil owing to their custom. I am no supporter of Burkah or Purdah system but I respect the right of Muslims to follow their traditions. There should be some way out. One way is that the Muslim women be photographed by women photographer and while voting, women polling staff should be posted at the concerned polling booth. Apparently, the Muslim women cannot show their face to straner males but they can unveil in presene of women. This topin needs some discussion.
