Switzerland imposed a ban on ‘Swastika’ calling it the Nazi’s extremist emblem. The ban was approved through a motion in the Parliament. The Parliament said extremist symbols should be banned in the neutral country, news agencies have reported.
Swastika was the symbol of Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist regime.
Justice Minister Beat Jans said, “Racially discriminatory, violent, extremist and especially National Socialist symbols have no place in our society and should not be used in public”.
The Legal Commission of the Lower House recommended a speedy implementation of the ban, which has already been approved by the Upper House.
The cabinet would draft the law and will have to be approved by both houses of the Parliament.
