Actress Sana Khan angrily voices her opinion on Nitish Kumar's hijab controversy: 'Ek Muslim aurat ko….'

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar sparked widespread outrage after a video surfaced showing him pulling down the hijab of a Muslim doctor, Dr. Nusrat Parveen, while handing her an appointment letter at a government event in Patna. The incident has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties, rights activists, and public figures, including former actress Sana Khan, who expressed her anger and shock on social media.

Sana Khan voices out against the act

Sana Khan condemned the incident, stating that Nitish Kumar's actions were shameful and questioned how safe women would be in the state if this was the behavior of its chief minister. She further emphasized that every girl should feel angry about this incident.

Sana shared a video on her Instagram story in which she said, "A few days ago, when our respected leader was giving a certificate to one of our Hijabi sisters, whose face was covered with a hijab, I don't know what happened to him that it became necessary for him to see the girl's face."

She further said, "He simply pulled the nakaab off her face. Surprisingly, the people standing behind him were laughing like idiots. This is shameful. Watching the video, I felt like slapping them. I felt so angry watching this. Every girl should feel angry watching this."

The former actress, Sana, has sparked discussion with her viral video, which highlights the crucial topic of girls' safety in the country.

Rakhi Sawant shares her opinion

Rakhi also shared her point of view, "Ek Muslim aurat ko aap award de rahe hai bulakar, usko sammaanit kar rahe hai, usko izzat de rahe hai. Aapko kya thoda bhi knowledge nahi hai, paanch paise ka bhi? Appko knowledge nahi hai ke Islam mein ek aurat, nakaab pehenkar jaati hai. Quran-E-Pak mein likha hai. Uske nakaab ko, uske abaya ko koi haath nahi laga sakta."

Celebs calls out the act shameful

Other notable figures who have reacted to the incident include Javed Akhtar, who demanded an unconditional apology from Nitish Kumar, and Zaira Wasim, who called the act a violation of a woman's dignity and modesty. Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also condemned the incident, calling it "shameful" and "extremely disturbing".

The opposition parties, including the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress, have demanded Nitish Kumar's resignation, questioning his mental state and fitness for office. The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety and dignity of women, particularly those from minority communities, in Bihar.
