If I go to Rajasthan and Haryana and lift the veil of a Hindu woman… Omar Abdullah gets angry at BJP over Hijab controversy.

Bihar :Recently, the controversy over removing the niqab of a Muslim woman in Bihar has become a big political crisis. This action of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has become the cause of criticism from all sides. The debate regarding this incident has intensified on social and political forums, due to which political heat has increased in Bihar. In this case, Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s defense of Nitish Kumar and his comments have become the reason to further instigate the controversy.

Nitish Kumar did not do any wrong
Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that Nitish Kumar did not do any wrong and the woman should show her face to get the appointment letter. He also said that if the woman refuses to take the appointment letter, it is her choice and it depends on her personal wish. However, this statement sparked a sharp reaction from the opposition and social groups. Many people consider it an attack on women’s rights and secularism.

Strong criticism of Omar Abdullah
Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah strongly criticized BJP and Nitish Kumar in this matter. He said that if a Muslim leader had removed the veil of a Hindu woman, the reaction of the BJP would have been completely different. Abdullah described this as Nitish Kumar gradually showing his true colors and said that this action cannot be justified under any circumstances. He said, “If this was the veil of a Hindu woman in Haryana or Rajasthan, and I had removed it, would BJP have said the same?”

A topic of debate even at the national level
This controversy has again exposed the sensitivity between religion and politics in Bihar. A series of allegations and counter-allegations has started between political parties. The support of BJP leaders and criticism of opposition parties has made this incident a topic of debate at the national level as well. The debate on the issues of secularism, women’s rights and behavior in public forums continues in the society.

Hijab controversy has started a new debate in the politics of Bihar. Nitish Kumar’s action, Giriraj Singh’s statement and Omar Abdullah’s criticism have raised religious and political sensitivities in the entire country. This matter has become a topic of discussion not only at the state level but also at the national level, due to which the differences between political parties and different sections of the society are becoming more evident.
