Sadhvi Pragya has voiced her opinion on the Shiv Sena’s demand that the burqa be banned in India following Sri Lanka’s decision. She said that since this was a matter of national security, removal of burqas should in fact be voluntary and cited the necessity of the step, similar to that of a security check at airports. Her opinion seems to differ vastly with that of GVL Narasimha Rao, from BJP which is her own party.
