RJD Sparks Outrage by Sharing Hijab Clip, Questions Nitish Kumar’s Conduct
Since Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)’s official X handle shared the video clip of Nitish Kumar pulling the female doctor’s hijab, the video has gone viral. A large number of netizens—especially women users—have sharply criticised the Bihar Chief Minister for what they termed an inappropriate act.
The RJD post read:
“यह क्या हो गया है नीतीश जी को?
मानसिक स्थिति बिल्कुल ही अब दयनीय स्थिति में पहुंच चुकी है या नीतीश बाबू अब 100% संघी हो चुके हैं? (sic)”
A rough translation reads: “What has happened to Nitish ji? Has his mental condition completely deteriorated, or has Nitish Babu now become 100 per cent Sanghi (a member of the RSS)?”
However, even after more than a day has passed, neither Nitish Kumar nor his party, nor the Bihar government has issued any statement on the matter.
Zaira Wasim Condemns Hijab Incident, Seeks Unconditional Apology from CM
Former Bollywood actress Zaira Wasim also reacted strongly on X, demanding an unconditional apology from the Chief Minister.
She posted (the account is not verified):
“A woman’s dignity and modesty are not props to toy with—least of all on a public stage. As a Muslim woman, watching another woman’s niqab being pulled so casually, accompanied by that nonchalant smile, was deeply infuriating.
Power does not grant permission to violate boundaries.
@NitishKumar owes that woman an unconditional apology.” (sic)
