NC strongly condemns Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s act of forcibly removing Hijab of Muslim Woman Doctor
Imran says conduct of a Chief Minister must uphold the rule of law, equality, and respect for the nation’s cultural and religious diversity
Srinagar, 16 Dec: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference State Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar Tuesday strongly condemned the shocking and deeply disrespectful act by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who was caught on video forcibly removing the hijab of a Muslim woman doctor during an official function in Patna.
Describing the act as an egregious violation of personal dignity, religious freedom, and constitutional rights, Imran Nabi Dar said such behaviour is utterly unbecoming of any public office bearer, especially one entrusted with the highest executive authority in a state. “He has tried to outrage the modesty of a lady doctor. NC condemns this act and demands necessary action against him,” he said.
He also demanded that Nitish Kumar issue an immediate, unconditional apology, take full responsibility for his actions, and ensure that no citizen particularly women and members of religious minorities is ever subjected to such humiliation.
Imran emphasized that the conduct of a Chief Minister must uphold the rule of law, equality, and respect for the nation’s cultural and religious diversity.
He also called upon all democratic forces, civil society, and human rights defenders to stand united in condemning this act and uphold the values of dignity, equality, and mutual respect.
