Washington, May 6 (ANI): New York Police Department's surveillance of Muslims has been called unconstitutional.
City Controller John Liu called the surveillance unconstitutional at a forum dedicated to Muslim and Arab American issues on Sunday.
According to the New York Daily News, Liu said that Muslims in the city were investigated just because of their religion was wrong.
The NYPD's programme has involved monitoring mosques, cafes and bookstores in Muslim neighborhoods, and Muslim student associations.
Former Controller Bill Thompson stopped short of calling the surveillance unconstitutional, but strongly condemned it.
Little-known candidate Erick Salgado also raised his hand to call it unconstitutional. (ANI)
