Press Trust Of India

Politicians in Kashmir lashed out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for pulling down the veil off a Muslim AYUSH doctor's face during a government event.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti questioned Kumar's continuation in office after the act.

“Having personally known and admired Nitishji, | was shocked to see him pull down a young Muslim woman's naqaab. Does one attribute it to old age or the normalisation of humiliating Muslims publicly?” Mufti said in an X post.

"The fact that people around him watched this horrific incident unfold as some form of an entertainment is even more unsettling. Nitish Sahab, perhaps it's time you step down?” she wrote.
