Ex-Bigg Boss Contestant Priya Malik Rants On Twitter, Appeals To Remove Taxes On Sanitary Pads

Bigg Boss 9 contestant Priya Malik is known for her fierce and bold personality. Not just on the reality show but also in her real life, she is extremely brave.

She has never really shied away from expressing her strong opinion and valid perspectives on concerns of a woman.

She took an offense on censoring a bra scene in the movie Baar Baar Dekho, she voiced her disgust against the step with her braless photo on Twitter.

The actor turned activist is now trying to make sanitary napkins tax free for all the right reasons. She has raised a concern through her Twitter account and started a hashtag #LahuKaLagaan.

She tweeted to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and highlighted the fact that if beedis can be tax-free then why not sanitary napkins. Only 12% women population can afford the napkins while 88% are doing away with unhygienic methods of plastic, fabric, sand and dry leaves.

Here are the series of Tweets by Priya Malik:

When she puts forward her thought to Arun Jaitley

An essential, important fact which we cannot ignore

Of course, a woman is complete with the ‘Shringaar’ and what about her menstrual days?

What importance Beedis serve in this big world that sanitary napkins don’t?:

This Tweet sums it all

Here’s the photo (in case you miss the tweets)

We are totally rooting for Priya Malik and we hope the Finance Minister hears her appeal out. This will bring a major change. Most of our women population will have access to better hygiene during her essential 5 days of the month. We all need to stand united on this one.
