Asked about her controversial remarks over Salman Khan's bail in hit-and-run-case, Sadhvi insisted, "Malegaon blasts accused Sadhvi Pragya was denied bail, rape victim nurse Aruna did not get justice for 42 years and she died, how come Salman got the bail so easily."

Sadhvi had earlier allegedly said that Salman was granted bail as he was a "Khan". Sadhvi said she was not rapped by her organisation for the remarks.

"Sarwan Singh Phillaur, a Dalit minister, was asked to resign after his name appeared in the Enforcement Directorate investigation in the drug smuggling case.
