Hijab-controversy

Taking a dig at the ongoing Hijab controversy, Nitish Kumar said it is not an issue in Bihar, and that religious sentiments are respected in the state. In a media briefing, Nitish quoted, "In Bihar schools, children wear almost the same type of dress. If someone puts something on the head, there is no need to comment on it.'' Notably, the statement came after the Hijab-saffron shawl controversy in Karnataka.
