Iqra Hasan Slams Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Over Controversial Hijab

New Delhi, December 18, 2025: A significant political storm has been triggered following a viral video involving Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. In the footage, which was captured during an official government event in December 2025, the Chief Minister was observed attempting to pull down the hijab of a newly appointed woman doctor. The act has been met with fierce criticism from several leaders, most notably Samajwadi Party MP Iqra Hasan (often referred to in digital circles as Iqra Choudhary), who has described the incident as a “violation of dignity and personal choice.”

The Viral Incident at ‘Samvad’

The controversy erupted during an appointment letter distribution ceremony for over 1,000 AYUSH doctors held at the CM’s secretariat in Patna. As a young doctor, identified as Dr. Nusrat Parveen, approached the stage to receive her certificate, a sequence of events was recorded that has since “broken the internet.”

Iqra Hasan’s Sharp Rebuttal

The silence was broken by Samajwadi Party MP Iqra Hasan, who took to social media and news platforms to condemn the act. It was stated by her that for a person holding such a high constitutional office, the act of “touching a woman’s religious attire without consent” is inexcusable.

Legal and Social Aftermath

The fallout from the video has extended beyond verbal criticism. It has been confirmed that police complaints have been filed in cities like Lucknow and Hyderabad by various social activists and political groups.As the video continues to circulate into late December 2025, the focus remains on the accountability of public figures. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between “folksy camaraderie” and the strict boundaries of consent and respect.
