The US House Foreign Affairs Committee chairperson Gregory Meeks on Thursday expressed his disappointment over the Karnataka High Court`s verdict on wearing Hijab in educational institutions saying that the decision will restrict freedom of expression and effectively make girls choose between their religion and their right to education.
"Disappointed by the court`s decision to restrict freedom of expression, effectively making girls choose between religion & their right to an education," said the Congressman. "Whether in the US, India, or anywhere, how minority communities are treated is a true measure of a society," he added. The US congressman has been chairing the US house committee on Foreign Affairs since 2021.
