Bollywood actress and Bigg Boss 14 fame Rakhi Sawant has shared a strong video reaction to Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's viral veil-pulling incident. The video also grabbed attention for her own factual error while reacting to the incident.

Aashirwda Nitish Kumar ji, mai aapki bohot badi fan hoon.Bohot izzat karti hoon, aapse bohot pyaar karti hoon, aap bohot acche neta hai, bohot acche pati hai, pita hai, lekin ye aapne kya kar diya Nitish ji?"

Speaking about the religious sensitivity of the incident, she said, "Ek Muslim aurat ko aap award de rahe hai bulakar, use sammanit kar rahe hai, usko izzat de rahe hai. Aapko knowledge nahi hai ki Islam mein aurat nakaab pehnkar jaati hai? Quran-E-Pak mein likha hai, uske naqaab ko, uske abaaya ko, koi haath nahi laga sakta."
Rakhi, in her signature style, tried to school Nitish Kumar about the incident but ended up making a joke of herself when she referred to him as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh instead of Bihar. She said, "Yeh aapne galat kiya. Agar bhar bazaar mein mai aapki dhoti kheech lu, aapki chaddi ka naada kheech lu, kaisa feel hoga aapko? Aurat ko ek taraf aap izzat dete ho, aur izzat utarte ho. Sharam nahi aati aapko?"
Rakhi Sawant Demands Apology From Nitish Kumar
Towards the video's end, Rakhi Sawant demanded an apology from Nitish Kumar and said, "Yeh galat baat hai, aapko maafi mangni chahiye. Aap maafi mange. Media bulaye, uss aurat ko bulake, behen bol kar maafi mangigye, Nitish ji." (This is wrong. You have to apologise. Call the media, address the woman as your sister and apologise).
