New Delhi: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has apologized following his remarks on population control in the assembly. He said he did not disrespect women and retracted his words if they were derogatory. After the remark in the Assembly became controversial, the Women’s Commission came to the scene demanding an apology from Nitish. This is followed by an apology.
Nitish’s controversial remarks were made during the winter session of the Bihar Legislative Assembly. He spoke regarding the importance of educating girls to control population. Nitish said that husbands are the cause of population increase and women will understand how to control this through education. But the National Commission for Women said that such remarks are not only reactionary but also lack of awareness regarding women’s rights and elections.
“As chairperson of the National Commission for Women, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar demands an immediate and unequivocal apology on behalf of all women in the country. The demeaning and cheap language he used during his speech is not suited to our society. If a leader in a democracy can make such comments so openly, one can only imagine the horrors the state will have to endure under his leadership. Against such behaviour. We stand firm,” said Rekha Sharma.
