Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Sparks Outrage After Pulling Down Woman Doctor's Hijab At Patna Event

A viral video showing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar pulling down the veil of a young woman doctor at an Ayush Doctors event in Patna has sparked widespread outrage. The incident, which occurred while the CM was distributing appointment letters, shows him gesticulating before removing the covering himself. The transcript notes that 'the action seems to have caught even onlookers off guard,' with Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary seemingly reacting to the situation. While the ruling JDU defended the act, claiming the intent was not to disrespect, the video has ignited a debate on consent and the dignity of women in public spaces. The report highlights the political backlash and questions raised about the conduct of public figures.
