Bihar CM : Hijab controversyFollowing intelligence tips Nitish Kumar’s security was strengthened
Bihar CM: Following the hijab-related incident that sparked intense political responses nationwide, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s security has been enhanced. Official sources claim that after the event, intelligence services communicated specific information that led to the decision to increase his protection. Political tensions have increased as a result of the incident, and opposition leaders have harshly criticized the chief minister.
When Nitish Kumar was giving appointment letters to recently hired AYUSH physicians at a Patna ceremony on Monday, the ruckus began. He reportedly stripped a Muslim lady who had stepped up to get her appointment letter of her hijab during the ceremony. Soon after, a video of the event went viral on social media, sparking indignation.
Chief Minister slammed by opposition
The Chief Minister’s move was described as “shameful” and inappropriate by a number of opposition figures, including members of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). They called for responsibility for the event and accused Nitish Kumar of offending religious feelings. Authorities acted quickly to reevaluate the Chief Minister’s security measures as political responses grew.
Pakistan’s threat is alarming.
In conjunction with the dispute, Kumar also got a threat from Pakistan, which was a significant escalation. Shehzad Bhatti, a Pakistani don, is said to have threatened the chief minister. Officials haven’t, however, revealed all the specifics of the heightened protection. The Director General of Police in Bihar ordered a thorough investigation of the video associated with Shehzad Bhatti after the threat. Officials said that when the investigation is over, further steps would be taken.
MPs who are female criticize Kumar Nitish
Women lawmakers from both parties have harshly criticized the episode. “Everyone must ensure that a woman is treated with dignity and not harmed, regardless of her caste, religion, or age,” said JMM MP Mahua Manjhi. It should not have occurred if his actions caused the lady to feel embarrassed. It is unacceptable, and we condemn it.”
The Bihar Chief Minister was also criticized by SP MP Iqra Hasan, who said, “The government talks about respecting women.” The state’s chief minister degraded a lady who earned her position via hard work. She left Bihar today to go to Kolkata to live with her brother. This incident is severely condemned. We acknowledge the Chief Minister’s advanced age, but no old or fatherly person has the right to act in this manner toward a lady. We demand that the lady get a public apology from the Chief Minister.
