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.
