The issue of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar pulling the hijab of a female doctor is still raging. While distributing appointment letters to AYUSH doctors in Patna, the hijab of woman Dr. Nusrat Parveen was pulled down from her face. Hurt by this, the female doctor has not joined the job yet. Nitish Kumar government is trying its best to get Nusrat posted on her post, but she has refused to work in Bihar. In such a situation, the government has extended his joining date once again.
Actually, female doctor Nusrat Parveen was appointed in Patna Sadar Hospital, but till now she is not joining the job. In such a situation, the Health Committee has again extended his joining date till January 7. Earlier she was to join by 20th December, but Nusrat did not come to the job. In view of this, the government extended the joining date to 31st December, which was then extended to 7th January.
Other AYUSH doctors are demanding their appointment
Nusrat Parveen has not yet informed whether she wants to join the job or not. On the other hand, other AYUSH doctors are on strike in Patna itself and are demanding their joining. His joining date has not come yet. The doctors sitting on strike are raising slogans and demanding appointment.
Hijab controversy started from December 15
The matter is of 15 December 2025, when appointment letters were being distributed to AYUSH doctors in Patna by CM Nitish Kumar. When Nusrat Parveen came on stage to collect her appointment letter, Nitish Kumar suddenly pulled the hijab from her face while talking to her. At that time Nusrat Parveen was shocked. Its video went viral, in which the minister and other people standing nearby were also seen laughing.
This angered the Muslim community. Besides, women’s organizations also started protesting, calling it sacrilege. All the opposition parties attacked the NDA government of Bihar. In defense of Nitish Kumar, JDU and BJP leaders claimed that the CM had removed the hijab of the woman in his capacity as a father. However, opposition parties and women’s organizations had filed a complaint with the police demanding an FIR.
