Your reaction to Boris Johnson's comments about the burka. The former foreign secretary said Muslim women wearing the full faced veil looked ridiculous and compared them to "letter boxes" and "bank robbers".  After that Nomia is joined by solicitor and author Abda Khan and Sofia Buncy, the founder of Muslim Women in Prison project, who will be speaking at the Youthtopia International Youth Summit in Karachi.
