When asked about her opinion on Nupur Sharma's death threats, she said, "These non-believers have always done so. Like Kamlesh Tiwari said something he was killed. Someone else (Nupur Sharma) said something and they also received a death threat. They distort our gods and goddess and make films about them. They have been doing this for years... That shows their mentality."

"This is Bharat (India). India belongs to Hindus and Sanatana Dharma will stay here. It is our responsibility and we shall do so," added the BJP MP.

Tiwari's own outfit, the Hindu Samaj Party was a little-known organization but he was an active functionary of the Hindu Mahasabha earlier.
