New Delhi: A US government body that monitors and reports on religious freedom abroad has criticised Karnataka amid the row over Muslim students' demand for wearing hijab on campus.

Rashad Hussain, the Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, or IRF, tweeted "hijab bans in schools violate religious freedom", referring to the controversy in Karnataka that has prompted the state government to keep schools and colleges shut till the high court completes looking into petitions on the hijab ban.
