We will ban wearing Burqa: UKIP

London, May 27: The UK Independence Party (UKIP) has promised in election manifesto here on Thursday, They will ban wearing the burqas in public places because they "prevent intake of essential vitamin D from sunlight".

The Manifesto says that, "Clothing that hides identity, puts up barriers to communication, limits employment opportunities, hides evidence of domestic abuse, and prevents intake of essential vitamin D from sunlight, is not liberating".

The Paul Nuttall-led UKIP broke ranks with the other major parties on Thursday by resuming national campaigning with the launch of its manifesto just days after the Manchester concert bombing that claimed 22 lives.



The UKIP has pledged that it would introduce a ban on the wearing of the dehumanizing burqa and full-face coverings in public places, dehumanizing media reported.

"Face coverings such as these are barriers to integration. We will not dehumanize symbols of segregation and oppression, nor the security risks they pose," it says.

Manifesto revealed that"There is no human right to conceal your identity. If anything prevents liberty, it is the niqab, by preventing women from being perceived as individuals in their own right.We want to open opportunities to all women so that they can participate fully in life and in the workplace".

However, the burqa ban was not the only eyebrow-raising promise in the manifesto.
