The Hijab Controversy has taken a dramatic turn after a Pakistani don openly threatened Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The Hijab Controversy began with a viral video from a government event in Patna.
At the event, Nitish Kumar was seen pulling off the hijab of a Muslim woman doctor while she stood on stage. The clip spread quickly on social media and sparked anger across the country.
Soon after, Shahzad Bhatti, a Pakistan-based don, released a video message. He warned the Bihar Chief Minister to apologise to the woman. Bhatti claimed the act hurt Muslim sentiments and demanded a public apology.
In his message, Bhatti said the Chief Minister still had time to correct his mistake. He also issued a direct warning, saying serious consequences would follow if no apology was made.
The threat from across the border has raised serious security concerns. Indian authorities are closely watching the situation, as such statements are taken seriously.
Political reactions in Bihar remain divided. Some leaders defended Nitish Kumar, while others criticised his action and called it insensitive.
The incident has added fuel to an already heated national debate on respect, public conduct, and religious identity.
