Patna/Kolkata: AYUSH doctor Nusrat Parveen has decided not to join government service, for which she had recently received her appointment letter. She was among the hijab-wearing women who attended the Samvad event in Patna, where Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar was seen pulling down her hijab.
“She is determined not to join the service. However, all family members, including me, are trying to convince her otherwise. We are telling her that it is the fault of the other person, so why should she feel bad or suffer because of it,” the doctor’s brother told eNewsroom. The brother, based in Kolkata, is a professor at a government law university.
Parveen is supposed to join service on December 20.
The young doctor’s husband is a clinical psychologist in a college.
Opposition shares clip, questions Nitish Kumar’s conduct
Since Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)’s official X handle shared the video clip of Nitish Kumar pulling the female doctor’s hijab, the video has gone viral. A large number of netizens – especially women users – have sharply criticised the Bihar chief minister for what they termed an inappropriate act.
The RJD post read:
“यह क्या हो गया है नीतीश जी को?
मानसिक स्थिति बिल्कुल ही अब दयनीय स्थिति में पहुंच चुकी है या नीतीश बाबू अब 100% संघी हो चुके हैं? (sic)”
A rough translation is: “What has happened to Nitish ji? Has his mental condition completely deteriorated, or has Nitish Babu now become 100% Sanghi (a member of the RSS)?”
