Several influential lawmakers on Wednesday wore yellow badges with the inscription, 'I am a Hindu', in solidarity with the minorities in Afghanistan, as the United States House of Representatives adopted a resolution condemning the Taleban's anti-Hindu edict requiring them to wear a yellow badge as a mark of identity.
The lawmakers ridiculed the Taleban's defence of the decree that the yellow badges were for the protection of the approximately 1,700 Hindus in Afghanistan from the strict religious conduct required of the Muslim majority.
Ackerman, the brain behind the yellow badges worn by lawmakers in the House, said this in some small way would show the tiny Hindu community in Afghanistan that Congress was aware of the human rights violations being perpetrated on them by the Taleban.
