News India Live, Digital Desk: Heated debates on certain issues have become common across the country, and ‘Hijab controversy’ is one such sensitive issue, which has now created a stir in the politics of both the states of Bihar and Jharkhand. After this controversy came to light, a period of sharp statements and accusations against each other has started between the political parties. The special thing is that in Bihar, Janata Dal United (JDU) has made a scathing attack on Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari, due to which the political temperature has increased further.
JDU’s political attack on Irfan Ansari
According to media reports, Irfan Ansari has given such a statement on the ‘Hijab controversy’, on which JDU has objection. Perhaps his statement might have been in favor of religious freedom on this matter or in criticism of some decision of the government. JDU immediately seized his statement and hit back strongly. JDU leaders have described Irfan Ansari’s statements as unnecessary and disturbing religious harmony. He says that ministers should speak thoughtfully on such sensitive issues, so that any kind of unrest does not spread in the society.
The meaning of this political attack is clear – both the parties are trying to prove their superiority over each other and tap the vote bank. The minority community has a large vote bank in Bihar and Jharkhand, and rhetoric on such issues often influences voters. Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari is often in the headlines for his statements, and this is not the first time he has been embroiled in controversies.
Election year and political rhetoric
This controversy has come at a time when assembly and Lok Sabha elections are to be held in both the states in the coming time. In such a situation, every small thing can be made a big political issue. JDU and other parties are seeing this matter as an opportunity to push their political agenda.
It will be interesting to see how deep this ‘hijab controversy’ goes into the politics of Bihar and Jharkhand, and what impact it has on the upcoming elections. At present, the level of rhetoric has intensified in both the states and political activities have increased.
