RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav defended Bihar CM Nitish Kumar over his remark on "population control". Yadav said it was about sex education.
"It is wrong if someone misinterprets it. The statement of the CM was regarding sex education. People are hesitant whenever the topic of sex education is discussed...This is now taught in schools. Science and biology are taught in schools. Children learn it. He said what should be done practically to stop the increase in population...This should not be taken in a wrong manner. It should be taken as a sex education," said Yadav.
Meanwhile, BJP MLA Nikki Hembrom slammed Kumar for his comments.
"What he said could have been stated in a dignified manner. But (Nitish Kumar) is insensitive in matters related to women. He has no respect for women," said Hembrom.
