Reacting to the ongoing Hijab row in Karnataka, the U.S. Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) on Friday said that the hijab ban “violate religious freedom and stigmatize and marginalize women and girls.”
In a tweet, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for IRF Rashad Hussain said, “Religious freedom includes the ability to choose one's religious attire,” adding that Karnataka should not determine permissibility of religious clothing.
