Reacting to reports that a group of Muslim women in France defied burkini, full-body Islamic swimsuits, ban following which they were fined, former Jammu and Kashmir chief misniter Mehbooba Mufti said it should be a woman’s choice whether she’s comfortable in a bikini or burkini. The two public swimming pools in southeast France were shut down despite the current heat-wave after 10 burkini-clad women, accompanied by activists from the Alliance Citoyenne rights group, went to the Grenoble pools on Sunday.
