A spokesman for the Defence Ministry has contradicted a news item appearing in a section of press, stating that the federal cabinet's ministerial committee on religion column issue has recommended insertion of religion column in new machine-readable passports. The spokesman called the news "absolutely baseless" and said the meeting only discussed the issue without making any recommendations. The meeting decided to hold further consultations, he said.
"Really. If you don't have a religion column on your passport, why, you just can't travel anywhere! It don't work!" |
