Nitish Kumar Hijab Row: Bihar CM Sparks Outrage After Pulling Down Woman Doctor's Headscarf

In a controversial incident, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was caught on camera pulling down the hijab of a woman doctor while handing over an appointment letter to Ayush doctors in Patna. The video, which has gone viral, shows the CM gesturing at the woman's headscarf before removing it himself. The Opposition, including the Congress, has termed the act ‘despicable’ and ‘vulgar’, questioning the safety of women in the state.
