Please add a note of the event of him public ally pulling down a female doctors hijab. ~2025-41222-32 (talk) 16:16, 16 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done Please provide a reliable source (WP:RS) and, if I'm reading correctly, why what someone else did is relevant to an article on Kumar. --Yamla (talk) 16:18, 16 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps one or two lines are appropriate. It's been covered by The Hindu and all other major Indian news outlets, and attracted widespread criticism. I'm thinking: "A video of Kumar pulling down a Muslim woman's veil during a ceremony on 15 December 2025 went viral, and this incident caused widespread condemnation from various political parties. Mr. Owaiz Hussain S ^[1] Advocate Owaiz Hussain from Bangalore was the first person to File Complaint to the respective higher authority.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]". --AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:17, 17 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I've gone ahead and added the line. --AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:19, 17 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
