Last Monday (December 15, 2025), Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had removed the hijab of a Muslim woman while giving appointment letters to AYUSH doctors. The opposition is cornering Nitish Kumar on this. Meanwhile, now minister in Nitish government Mohammad Jama Khan has given a big statement. On Tuesday (December 16, 2025), he said about the politics taking place on this entire issue that it is a matter of regret that the level of today’s leaders has fallen so much that they do not understand what they are saying.

Jama Khan said, “The leader (Nitish Kumar) they are talking about has respected people of all castes, religions and classes in Bihar and has worked for them. Everyone knows his behavior… He does not make anyone feel that he is the Chief Minister of Bihar, he makes them feel that he is their guardian… What people are talking about yesterday is that the girl is like their daughter. This is a gesture of affection…”

‘…it hurts’

Further Minister Jama Khan said that Nitish Kumar loves people of all castes and religions living in Bihar. Respect the minority community a lot. It hurts when someone points a finger at such a leader. He (Nitish Kumar) respects everyone and loves everyone. Such things should not happen. Before making allegations, people should think about whom they are accusing. On the person who has beautified Bihar so much.”

JDU may be giving clarification on this entire controversy but Nitish Kumar is being surrounded from all sides. Be it Congress or RJD, leaders of both the parties are raising questions. While sharing the video on X, Bihar Congress has said that Nitish Kumar should resign.

With the formation of the new government in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has prepared a team of 26 ministers. Jama Khan’s name is included as the only Muslim minister in this cabinet, who will hold the ministerial post from Janata Dal United (JDU) quota. Jama Khan is not only considered close to Nitish Kumar, but his political journey has also been full of ups and downs and interesting turns.

Jama Khan, MLA from Chainpur in Kaimur district, has been the Minority Welfare Minister and may get the same important responsibility in the new government. Born in a Muslim family in Naughara village of Kaimur district of Bihar, Jama Khan’s education was also related to Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He studied till 12th class from Varanasi.

An interesting thing is that he himself said that his ancestors were Hindu Rajputs, who later converted to Islam. Even today, strong family ties remain between his relatives, both Hindu and Muslim.

Many parties, many elections…but won in 2020

Jama Khan’s political journey is full of struggles. In 2005, he contested elections from Chainpur for the first time from BSP but lost. In 2010, he contested elections from Congress, but lost again. In 2015, he again contested from BSP and lost by about 600 votes. Contested elections from BSP in 2020 and won a big victory by about 25 thousand votes.

This victory of 2020 was big, because he defeated the BJP candidate Brij Kishore Bind, who had been consistently strong on this seat. After this victory, he became the only MLA of BSP in Bihar Assembly.

Left BSP and went straight to Nitish Kumar’s cabinet.

After winning in 2020, Jama Khan suddenly took a big decision in January 2021. He left BSP and joined JDU. As soon as he joined JDU, Nitish Kumar expressed confidence in him and made him the Minority Welfare Minister.

Jama Khan openly supported JDU’s stand on many sensitive issues like Waqf Amendment Bill and praised the leadership style of Nitish Kumar. Due to this, the discussion about their closeness increased further.

New cabinet, new responsibility

The new government includes Samrat Chaudhary, Vijay Kumar Sinha, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Shravan Kumar, Mangal Pandey, Dr. Dilip Jaiswal, Ashok Chaudhary, Lacey Singh, Madan Sahni, Nitin Naveen, Ramkripal Yadav, Santosh Kumar Suman, Sunil Kumar, Mohd.

Whoever has been scholars, great men, everyone has spoken about brotherhood and love. Surely I will also say that do not use any words that will cause any loss. Whatever is wrong, it should be taken immediately.”
