If period blood is unholy and impure we are far from being pious ourselves.
Let’s remember our existence was made possible because of this blood, it nourished us in the womb so we could be who we are today.Let’s end the taboo, let’s break the silence. #AbPataChalneDo pic.twitter.com/kuH2GBkkWd

He wrote in his tweet, ‘If someone considers the blood (blood) released during menstruation as impure and impure, then we are far away from the claim of being pure. We must remember that our existence was made possible because of this blood, it nourished us in the womb so that we could be who we are today. End this social stereotype (Taboo) and at the same time break your silence.
