Nitish Kumar Video Sparks Controversy After Pulling a Woman’s Hijab at Patna Event
Nitish Kumar has been thrust into the spotlight after an incident occurred at a Patna government event. In a video that has been widely circulated on social media, Nitish Kumar is seen gesturing and then pulling the hijab off a woman doctor at a ceremony for the distribution of appointment letters. This incident has been widely criticized by opposition leaders as well as the general public. It raises serious concerns about cultural and conduct sensitivity when it comes to public offices.
A large event to distribute appointment letters for more than 1,000 newly hired AYUSH physicians was held at ‘Samvad’, the secretariat of the Chief Minister. Nusrat Parveen was next to get her appointment letter, and the atmosphere changed. Parveen was wearing a face-covering hijab as she approached the podium. According to the visual evidence at the event, 75-year-old Chief Minister frowned when he saw her outfit. Nitish Kumar, according to witnesses and footage from the event, asked, “What is that?” Before telling her to remove the mask, Nitish Kumar asked, “what is this?”
Has nitish kumar fucking lost his mind?

How is this not an outrage of modesty of a woman?
Touching her without her consent, even hurting her in the act?

Nitish Kumar, as seen in the video, did not even wait for his appointee’s compliance before he reached out to pull the fabric. After the conversation, an official nearby quickly pulled the appointee to the side. Samrat Choudhary was also seen in the footage, standing next to the Chief Minister and tugging on Nitish’s sleeves, as if to try to control him.

Nitish’s incident has become an immediate flashpoint in Bihar. The Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress have both strongly condemned this act. The social media sites have been used to promote the video and describe the behaviour as unsuitable for someone holding a constitutionally high office. RJD stated X (formerly Twitter), questioning the Chief Minister’s mental state.
What happened to Nitish Ji? Is his mental state now in a totally pathetic condition, or is Nitish Babu 100% Sanghi? RJD posted on its official Twitter account, reflecting the current political tension in the area.
This viral video of Nitish Kumar sparked an online conversation about women’s dignity and personal freedom. Many social media users expressed their outrage at the video, calling it “despicable”, and an invasion of privacy. Images of a leader physically interfering with a woman’s clothes have resonated with people from all demographics and prompted demands for an explanation.
The incident is the latest in a string of recent controversies surrounding Nitish Kumru, which has further fueled opposition narratives about his ability to continue as a leader. The Chief Minister’s Office has not yet released an official statement regarding the actions that were captured. As opposition leaders continue to demand accountability, the political fallout will likely continue.
The Event Samvad distribution ceremony was meant to be a landmark event in the healthcare sector of the state, marking the recruitment of more than 1,000 AYUSH professionals. The appointments form part of a state-wide initiative by the government to improve medical infrastructure. The successful recruitment drive is now overshadowed a lot by Nitish Kumar’s actions during the event.
