A senior IAS officer in Bihar has courted a controversy by giving an ”insensitive” reply to students requesting free sanitary pads at an event held in the state capital Patna. According to reports, during a workshop on ‘Sashakt Beti, Samriddh Bihar’, Harjot Kaur Bhamra, who is the managing director of Bihar Women Development Corporation, was asked if the state government can make sanitary pads available for free.
Replying to the question, Harjot Kaur said, “Today, you are asking for sanitary pads, tomorrow you will ask for condoms.” “Why do you need to take things from the government?” Harjot Kaur said, adding that “This thinking is wrong.”
