Giriraj Singh - Reject the job or go to hell

Union Minister Giriraj Singh has sparked a new controversy by defending Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the removal of a Muslim female doctor's hijab. He said it was up to the woman to decide whether to refuse a government job or "go to hell." Defending Nitish Kumar, he said he had done "nothing wrong." He argued, "If someone is going to receive an appointment letter, shouldn't they show their face? Is this an Islamic country? Nitish Kumar played the role of a guardian. If you go to get a passport, don't you show your face? When you go to the airport, don't you show your face? People talk about Pakistan and Englishistan, but this is India. The rule of law prevails in India."

Haribhushan Thakur – Ban on Hijab

Senior BJP leader Haribhushan Thakur said that Nitish Kumar has done nothing wrong. The hijab should be banned across India. It should be banned in government jobs, as it fosters terrorism. Terrorists flee wearing hijabs after committing crimes. They hide their true identities behind the hijab. Anyone who wants to wear a hijab should go to Pakistan.
