Sanitary pads should be Tax free: Sonakshi

• When asked her whether 12% GST on sanitary pads should be imposed or not, to that, Sonakshi said,
• “It’s a basic need of every women and I feel that really needs to be taken into consideration and I feel it should be definitely tax-free.”
• Talking about Nanhi Kali, Ngo at the event, Sonakshi said,
• “This cause is more special because unfortunately today we live in such place where
• still there is gender discrimination among girls and boys which is not at all correct.
• When girls are born in the family, then family members force her to sit at home out of their
• choice and they don’t even send them to school so I feel ‘Nanhi Kali’ is great cause which promotes
• and supports little girls who has desire to study but don’t have means to pursue their study.
• It’s a wonderful initiative. They are looking so happy by going into schools so I feel if we get even more girl come and be able to get educate themselves that will be wonderful.
