Rakhi took to Instagram to share a video of herself, where she questioned Nitish Kumar and asked him to apologize to the girl. She said,
"Ek Muslim aurat ko aap award de rahe hai bulakar, usko sammaanit kar rahe hai, usko izzat de rahe hai. Aapko kya thoda bhi knowledge nahi hai, paanch paise ka bhi? Appko knowledge nahi hai ke Islam mein ek aurat, nakaab pehenkar jaati hai. Quran-E-Pak mein likha hai. Uske nakaab ko, uske abaya ko koi haath nahi laga sakta. (You are calling a Muslim woman and giving her an award, honoring her and showing her respect. Don’t you have even basic knowledge? Don’t you know that in Islam, a woman wears a veil? It is written in the Holy Quran. No one is allowed to touch her veil or her abaya.”
