Bihar politics has once again been embroiled in controversy. A video of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is rapidly going viral on social media, showing him removing a hijab from a female doctor's face during a government program. The incident has sparked strong reactions across the country. Former actress Zaira Wasim, known for her roles in films like 'Dangal' and 'Secret Superstar', has strongly objected to the incident and demanded an unconditional apology from the Chief Minister.
Nitish Kumar removes a woman's hijab.
The incident took place at a certificate distribution ceremony in Patna. During the program, while Nitish Kumar was handing over a certificate to an AYUSH doctor, he gestured to the woman to remove her hijab. When the woman did not immediately respond, the Chief Minister himself stepped forward and pulled down her hijab, revealing her face publicly. The video of the entire incident went viral on social media within hours and quickly became a subject of national debate.
Zaira Wasim expresses outrage.
Upon seeing the video, Zaira Wasim expressed her deep displeasure on the social media platform 'X'. She called it a violation of the woman's dignity and personal boundaries. Zaira wrote that no position or power gives anyone the right to tamper with a woman's religious and personal dignity. As a Muslim woman, watching this scene was extremely painful for her.
Zaira Wasim clearly stated that such behavior towards a woman on a public platform is unacceptable, and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should offer an unconditional apology to the woman. She also said that this issue is not just about religion, but about respect, consent, and individual rights.
Opposition parties call the CM's behavior shameful.
The matter has also taken a political turn. Several opposition parties, including the Congress, have termed the Chief Minister's behavior shameful. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) even questioned whether the Chief Minister is aware of his conduct and responsibilities. A large number of people on social media have also come out in support of the woman and are calling it an example of abuse of power.
Distance from the film industry in 2019
It is noteworthy that Zaira Wasim distanced herself from the film industry in 2019. She had said at the time that acting conflicted with her religious beliefs. Although she is no longer a part of films, her opinions on social issues still become a subject of widespread discussion. Currently, no official reaction has come from Nitish Kumar or his office regarding this entire matter. But the way this video and the reactions to it are being discussed makes it clear that this issue is going to play an important role in Bihar's politics and social discourse in the coming days.
