Sanjay Nishad- What would have happened if you had touched somewhere else?

When Sanjay Nishad was questioned on Nitish Kumar's hijab controversy, he gave such a statement in the name of Bihar CM, which has created a ruckus. Sanjay Nishad said- 'There was so much commotion when I touched the mask, what would have happened if I touched it somewhere else?' However, Sanjay Nishad has now clarified his statement that his statement has been distorted. In Bhojpuri this is a common way of advising people not to give too much importance to any issue and to exercise restraint. I used the same style in Hindi also and I did not know that it would become such a big issue.

Imtiaz Jalil - Would have broken his hand and given it to you

AIMIM leader and former MP Imtiaz Jaleel has expressed strong objection to Sanjay Nishad's statement. Addressing an election rally in Yavatmal, Jalil said that if Sanjay Nishad were in front of him, he would have 'broken one hand and given it to the other hand'. We will break the hands of those who insult the dignity of our women. Such statements cannot be accepted at any cost.

Giriraj Singh - Reject the job or go to hell

Union Minister Giriraj Singh created a new controversy by defending Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the matter of removing the hijab of a Muslim female doctor. Giriraj Singh said that it is up to the woman to reject the government job or 'go to hell'. Giriraj Singh defended Nitish Kumar and said that he has 'done nothing wrong'. He defended Nitish and argued, 'If someone is going to take the appointment letter, should he not show his face? Is this an Islamic country? Nitish Kumar played the role of a guardian. If you go to get a passport, don't you show your face? When you go to the airport, don't you show your face? People talk about Pakistan and England, but this is India. There is rule of law in India.

Haribhushan Thakur- Hijab banned

Senior BJP leader Haribhushan Thakur said that Nitish Kumar has not done anything wrong. Hijab should be banned in entire India. It can be banned in government jobs, because terrorism flourishes due to hijab. After committing the crime, the terrorists run away wearing hijab. They hide their real identity behind hijab. Anyone who wants to wear hijab should go to Pakistan.
