It was difficult to remove the mask of the female doctor on the stage, Grand Mufti said Nitish Babu, this is the blood of both religion and shame.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is in the headlines these days due to his strange actions, but this time the matter has gone beyond laughter and has directly reached ‘insult’ and ‘religious sentiments’. The way he publicly tried to remove the hijab (niqab) of a Muslim female doctor at a program in Patna, shocked the entire nation.

Now a very sharp voice has been raised from Jammu and Kashmir in this matter. The greatest religious guru there, Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam Has expressed strong objection to this incident and has called it an insult to the entire Muslim society.

What did the Grand Mufti say?
Grand Mufti’s anger is at its peak after the video went viral. He said in clear words that this action was not against any one woman, but against the people of India. Misbehavior with 22 crore Muslims Is. He reminded Nitish Kumar that we live in a country where the Constitution gives everyone the freedom to live according to their religion and tradition.

Mufti Saheb said, “The post of a Chief Minister is a very responsible one. If he plays with the privacy and religious identity of a woman in a public gathering, then what will the general public learn? This is a gross violation of both the Constitution and decorum.”

What was that incident? (Understand the matter)
Actually, a program of the Health Department was going on in Patna. A Muslim lady doctor came on stage to collect her job letter. He was wearing a mask on his face. Nitish Kumar interrupted him, gestured and allegedly tried to remove/pull his mask. Some people present there laughed it off, but as soon as this clip came on social media, people started asking questions, what kind of ‘good governance’ is it to make someone remove their clothes?

“Stop interfering in religion”
Grand Mufti said a very important thing in his statement. He said, “Hijab or niqab is part of the identity and dignity of Muslim women. No leader, no matter how big, has the right to interfere in our religious matters.” He described it as “the height of shamelessness” and said such behavior could never be forgiven.

Stir in political circles
Its echo is being heard not only among religious leaders but also in political circles. Leaders like Mehbooba Mufti and Iltija Mufti have also described it as “the real face being exposed”. People are surprised that Nitish Kumar, who once used to talk about secularism, is today doing such things which make anyone uncomfortable.

something to think about
In the end, the question for all of us is, is it a sign of a civilized society to make such remarks about a woman’s clothes or niqab on a public platform? Grand Mufti’s anger perhaps reflects the fact that to show respect, it is not necessary to take off one’s clothes, but to respect someone’s choice.

What do you think about this? Was this action of Nitish Kumar justified?
