“Respecting His Age, But Such Mistakes Are Unacceptable”: Iltija Mufti Targets Nitish Kumar Srinagar/New Delhi: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Iltija Mufti on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, questioning his mental fitness to continue in office after what she described as a “serious and unacceptable mistake.” Speaking to the media, Iltija Mufti said that while she respects Nitish Kumar’s age and long political career, the nature of his recent conduct raises serious concerns. “We are respecting Nitish Kumar’s age, but if he is mentally unsound, he should resign. Such mistakes cannot be tolerated,” she remarked. Though Iltija Mufti did not go into specific details during her brief interaction, her comments come amid growing political controversy surrounding Nitish Kumar, with opposition parties questioning his recent statements and public appearances. Critics have alleged that repeated gaffes and confusing remarks by the Bihar Chief Minister are damaging the dignity of his constitutional post. Iltija Mufti emphasized that holding a high public office demands clarity of thought and responsibility. “The Chief Minister’s post is not symbolic. Decisions taken from this position affect millions of people. Any sign of inability to discharge these responsibilities must be taken seriously,” she said.
