'Next What, Condoms?': Bihar IAS Officer Responds To Students' Request For Sanitary Pads

In an embarrassing incident in Patna, the managing director of the Bihar Women's Development Corporation asked a schoolgirl if "she wants condoms too" when the student asked for affordable sanitary napkins.

IAS officer Harjot Kaur responded to the little girl's query by saying, "Tomorrow, you will ask the government for jeans and, later, beautiful jeans."

Harjot's inappropriate remarks haven't gone down too well with people on the internet.

This type of IAS officer are toxic for our society ?
Bihar government immediately take action against her @yadavtejashwi @NitishKumar https://t.co/Ra0T1Q9JWT

Harjot Kaur Bhamra is an IAS and CMD of women and child development Bihar. There are better ways to answer the question the girl asked but she responded with arrogance and rude behaviour. Shame on her she doesn't deserve to be at that post. @IASassociation https://t.co/EbVZt0ZwpY

A girl from a slum in Bihar asks for subsidised sanitary pads at an event on ¡®enhancing value of girls¡¯ and IAS officer Harjot Kaur Bhamra responds, ¡°Want free condoms too?¡± Should such insensitive officers be allowed to remain in service? @IASassociation @biharCMO pic.twitter.com/GrhggEpqXZ

According to multiple reports, the event was held in partnership with UNICEF.

"The government is giving lots of free things. Can they not provide us sanitary pads that cost Rs 20-30?" the schoolgirl had asked.

Kaur continued her disgusting rant and did just not stop at the 'condom' remark.

When the girl from the slum retorted that the people elect the government, Kaur cautioned the student. "not to vote."

"Don¡¯t vote. Become Pakistan," she said.

The officer did try to teach a lesson from her remarks.

"Why do you need to take anything from the government? This way of thinking is wrong. Do it yourself," she told the audience, which comprised girls from Classes 9 and 10 primarily.

But the streak of great questions and responses was long.

When a kid said that her school's girls' restroom is still damaged and that boys frequently use it, the officer responded, she said, "Tell me, do you have separate toilets at home? How will it work if you keep asking for many things at different places?"
