Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday used unscientific language in "explaining the role of education and the role of women in population control". He not only uttered something not tenable scientifically but also shockingly derogatory.
Experts opine that coitus interruptus is not an effective way of birth control. The pre-seminal fluid contains sperm and Nitish Kumar doesn't seem to know it.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women has demanded an immediate and unequivocal apology from Nitish Kumar. "His crass remarks in the Vidhan Sabha are an affront to the dignity and respect that every woman deserves. Such derogatory and cheap language used during his speech is a dark stain on our society. If a leader can make such comments so openly in a democracy, one can only imagine the horror the state must be enduring under his leadership. We stand firm against such behavior and call for accountability," wrote the NCW's Chairperson.
As per Kumar's supporters, he only used language that the commoners could understand. But simplifying shouldn't come at the cost of science. Dumbing down is not the same as simplification.
