Amid crackdown on Islamic extremists in Sri Lanka, the cabinet of the island nation on Tuesday (27 April) cleared a proposal to ban all forms of face veils in public places citing national security concerns.
âThe Cabinet has approved the proposal, it will now go to the legal draftsmen and then be brought to parliament,â cabinet spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella told the weekly media conference.
