Argentina is poised to become the first major Latin American country to legalize abortion. A legislation, in this regard, was given the green light by lower house.
The bill, which was submitted last month by the leftwing president, Alberto Fernández, was approved on Friday morning by a margin of 131 to 117 votes after a 20-hour debate. It will be voted on by the senate at the end of this month.
In Austria, the country's constitutional court reportedly struck down a law prohibiting primary school children from wearing specific religious head coverings.
It said the law was aimed at the Islamic headscarf and breached rights on religious freedom.
But, in the BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh in India, a new Anti-Conversion law to render 'love jihad' (a notion that Muslim youths lure Hindu women to marry them in a bid to convert them to Islam) illegal, has drawn flak from the people.
According to a report in the BBC, mouthpieces of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP's ideological fountainhead, carried cover stories on "love jihad" and urged people to raise the slogan "love for ever, love jihad never!".
Sad...!
ENDS.
