To check outsiders, Sena wants I-cards for Mumbaikars

Mumbai: Shiv Sena on Monday sought that ID cards should be made compulsory in Mumbai so that there is a check on ‘outsiders’ in the city.

"The Delhi government has woken up to the threat posed by terrorists," an editorial in the party's mouthpiece Samana said.

Defending the compulsion of ID card, it says if police stops somebody to check his/her identification papers, it does not impinge on person's liberty.

It also congratulated Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit and Delhi police for making ID cards compulsory in the national Capital.

The editorial also rails against ‘floods’ of migrants coming into Mumbai, and futher says ID cards should be made compulsory in every city of the country.
