Ministers Irfan Ansari and Nusrat Parveen. (File photo).
Digital Desk, Jamtara. Bihar Hijab Row: Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari was in political headlines recently after the controversy over hijab in Bihar. He had offered Dr. Nusrat Parveen, a doctor related to the hijab controversy, a job in Jharkhand and a monthly salary of Rs 3 lakh.
Irfan Ansari remains in discussion and controversy every day due to his statements and working style. He has once again done letter politics which is in the headlines. A post has been made on Internet Media X addressing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Irfan Ansari has written a letter reminding us of constitutional values, humanity and equality. He wrote that such insensitive remarks are not expected from a person holding a constitutional post, especially when the matter concerns a minority girl. Ansari said that humanity is the biggest identity and commenting on someone's dress or financial status is not only insensitive but also unconstitutional.
In the letter, while mentioning the oath of office of the Chief Minister, he described equal respect for all religions and protection of the dignity of citizens as the foundation of democracy. Besides, praising the leadership and behavior of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, he also advised Nitish Kumar to meet him and learn from the human perspective.
In political circles, this letter of Irfan Ansari and the offer given to the doctor are being seen as a trick to remain in the news. Keep in mind that when he had offered the job, the ruling JMM had distanced itself from it. Whereas Irfan is a minister from Congress quota in the JMM coalition government.
