The BJP member, in another tweet, asked the 'Padman' actress to not indulge in a 'veiled attack' as he wrote, "You make a choice @sonamakapoor. Don’t indulge in a veiled attack! Turban is inseparable for a Sikh and will always be! Sikhs’ fight against the tyranny is going on since 17th century and will continue."
Earlier, Sirsa had also lashed out on the Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate had shared a report on the hijab controversy in Karnataka tweeting “Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women.” The BJP leader had then tweeted, "Strange! @Malala never spoke on other significant issues like forced conversion of minor Hindu Sikh girls in Pakistan but today she is tweeting without verifying facts!!"
For the unversed, the whole controversy had erupted after the Karnataka government on February 5 had issued an order mandating a dress code in all schools and colleges, with a ban on clothes that "disturb equality, integrity and public law and order".
