Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is under attack from all sides over his strange statement on women in the Assembly. Now the National Commission for Women has also strongly condemned Nitish Kumar’s statement. The Commission expressed strong objection to the statement made by Nitish Kumar in the Assembly regarding women’s fertility, education and linking them with the population of this country.
The National Commission for Women described Nitish Kumar’s statement as insensitive and asked the Chief Minister to apologize. Delhi Women Commission Chairperson Swati Maliwal wrote in a post on Twitter that I strongly condemn the derogatory language used by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar while addressing the Assembly. He should apologize immediately!
