अशोक चौधरी बोले- 'जापान में भी होती है ऐसी घटना, रोकना संभव नहीं', छात्रा से छेड़खानी पर बिहार के नेताओं ने क्या-क्या बयान दिया

According to a report by Prabhat Khabar, Bihar Minister Ashok Chaudhary has sparked significant controversy following his remarks on incidents of harassment against female students in the state. During a public interaction, the minister appeared to downplay the frequency and preventability of such events, drawing a comparison to similar occurrences in Japan and suggesting that such incidents are difficult to completely eradicate.

The comments have drawn sharp criticism from opposition leaders and civil society groups, who argue that the government should focus on improving law and order rather than normalizing criminal behavior. The controversy highlights the ongoing political debate in Bihar regarding the safety of women and the efficacy of current police measures in addressing harassment complaints.

In response to the backlash, various political figures have weighed in on the minister's statement, with some calling for a formal apology and others demanding more stringent action against perpetrators. The state administration has yet to issue a formal clarification regarding the minister's remarks, while local police continue to face pressure to demonstrate progress in ongoing investigations related to student safety.
