In the past, Sadhvi Prachi had been asked by the Bharatiya Janata Party to show some restraint when it comes to making statements.

The Bombay High Court on Friday suspended Salman Khan's sentence and granted him bail. He will not have to go to jail pending disposal of his appeal against conviction in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

In the past, Sadhvi Prachi had created furore when she dared UP state Urban Development Minister Azam Khan to embrace Hinduism.
