Nitish should apologise if he has an iota of decency: Javed Akhtar on hijab row

In an exclusive interview with India Today, poet-lyricist Javed Akhtar slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for pulling down a Muslim woman's niqab and said he should apologise if he has an iota of decency. 

Javed Akhtar said, "If there is an iota of decency in Nitish Kumar, which I suspect, he should apologise. He has misbehaved with a woman."

Last week, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar sparked a row after he pulled down a woman's hijab while handing over appointment letters to AYUSH doctors at an event.
