Political Storm: Leaders Condemn Nitish Kumar's Controversial Hijab Incident

Leaders from various political parties, including AAP's Priyanka Kakkar, Congress, and Shiv Sena's Priyanka Chaturvedi, have strongly criticized Bihar CM Nitish Kumar over a video showing him attempting to remove a woman's hijab during a ceremony. Calls for Kumar's resignation and remarks on women's safety have emerged.

In a controversial turn of events, AAP spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar has issued a strong condemnation of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The uproar began after a video surfaced showing Kumar allegedly trying to remove the hijab of a Muslim woman during a ceremony at the Chief Minister's Office.

The incident, which took place as appointment letters were distributed to 1,283 AYUSH doctors, has sparked widespread backlash. The Congress party has described it as "shameless" and is demanding Kumar's resignation. Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat expressed his denunciation, suggesting that Kumar may not be mentally fit for his position.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi weighed in, criticizing the Chief Minister's actions as a violation of the woman's dignity. She emphasized that no public figure has the right to humiliate a woman for her attire choice. This incident has raised significant concerns about women's safety and equality in Bihar.
