The newly appointed Education Minister of NDA-ruled Bihar has made a statement that has created a stir across the country as the central government focuses on education and empowerment of women under the slogan ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Shikhtar Karan’.
Bihar’s new Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari has made it clear to the media that there is no need for girls to study. Their place is within the walls of the house. Stay at home and help them with household chores.
The comments by the education minister of the BJP-led NDA government have sparked controversy across the country.
BJP MLA Mithilesh Tiwari from Baikunthapur constituency in Gopalganj district has been appointed as Education Minister in the new Bihar Cabinet.
“What are girls to do with so much education? The girls of our house are our strength and prosperity. They should stay at home and help with household chores. There is no need for them to take to the streets to protest or go to public meetings,” she said in a recent interview.
When the journalist reminded him of women’s right to education, he irresponsibly replied, ‘You get your rights for nothing.
Mithilesh Tiwari himself was a teacher before joining politics. Tiwari, who holds a bachelor’s degree in economics, ran a coaching center in Patna for a long time. There is no doubt that the economy of the country is growing faster than the economy of the world. There is no doubt that the economy of the country is growing faster than the economy of the world.
The video of the remark went viral on social media and netizens criticized the minister. Many believe that education is a fundamental right of everyone under Article 21(a) of the Constitution. In this context, such ‘medieval’ thinking on the face of a responsible minister is unacceptable.
Opposition parties have also targeted the BJP and the Bihar government over the incident. However, some have claimed that the minister’s statement has been misinterpreted.
