The issue started after Girdhari Lal, husband of a BJP minister from Uttarakhand, allegedly made a statement about the “price” of Bihari girls for marriage. The comment quickly went viral and triggered widespread anger.</p>
<p>Reacting sharply, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Shambhu Patel condemned the statement and called it deeply insulting to women from Bihar. He said such remarks damage the dignity of women and shame society.

<p>The Bihari girls remark also drew criticism from opposition leaders and social groups. Many leaders said the comment reflects a backward mindset and cannot be tolerated. Women’s organisations demanded a public apology and legal action.</p>
<p>The Bihar State Women’s Commission took notice of the issue and sought an explanation. Meanwhile, political pressure continued to mount on the BJP leadership to respond clearly.</p>
<p>Later, Girdhari Lal claimed his words were misunderstood and said he did not intend to insult anyone. Despite this, the controversy remains active, with many demanding accountability and respect for women.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The burqa controversy has intensified after BSP chief Mayawati strongly criticised <a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/jan-suraj-manoj-bharti-challenges-jitan-ram-manjhi-to-reveal-original-video/">Bihar</a> Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. She asked him to repent and take immediate steps to end the dispute. The burqa controversy has, she said, hurt public sentiment and should not have been allowed to grow.</p>
<p>Mayawati was reacting to a recent public event where a woman doctor’s hijab was removed during a function attended by Nitish Kumar. She said the matter involved a woman’s dignity and should have been handled with sensitivity.</p>
<p>She added that instead of calming the situation, political statements have made the issue worse. According to her, leaders must act responsibly, especially on matters linked to personal freedom and respect.</p>
<p>The BSP leader also referred to another incident involving a police parade, where standard rules were ignored. She said such actions damage discipline and create unnecessary tension.</p>
<p>Mayawati criticised recent sessions of Parliament and state assemblies as well. She claimed that lawmakers spent more time arguing than discussing real public problems.</p>
<p>She urged governments to focus on issues like safety, employment, and social harmony. Mayawati said controversies like this divert attention from people’s everyday concerns and harm the country’s image.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A complaint filed against CM Nitish has created a major political controversy after a video from a government event went viral on social media. The clip shows Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar allegedly pulling the hijab of a Muslim woman doctor while she was receiving her appointment letter. The incident has led to strong public anger and legal action.</p>
<p>The event took place during a government appointment distribution programme. When the woman doctor came on stage, Nitish Kumar was seen touching her hijab. It slipped from her head, leaving her visibly uncomfortable. The moment was captured on camera and quickly spread online.</p>
<p>Following the video, a complaint filed against CM Nitish was submitted in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Social activist Md Murtaza filed the complaint, saying the act hurt the woman’s dignity and violated her religious freedom. He demanded a proper investigation into the matter.</p>
<p>Opposition parties strongly criticised the Chief Minister. They called the act disrespectful and unacceptable, especially towards a woman in a public setting. Some leaders said an apology and accountability are necessary.</p>
<p>Supporters of Nitish Kumar claimed there was no bad intention. However, the debate continues across political and social platforms.</p>
<p>The incident has reopened discussions on women’s dignity, religious respect, and behaviour of public leaders.</p>
