¡°I don't know what is mentioned in the fatwa, but Islam does not allow 'Sindoor'. It's not Muslim culture... It's not a marriage. It looks more like a relation to show off. Both Muslims and Jains won't consider it a marriage. She is no more a Jain or a Muslim. She has done a big crime and she should not have done it," he was quoted as saying by ANI.

BJP leader Shazia Ilmi came out in support of the actress-turned-politician. "Every woman has the right to wear clothes and to follow the ritual of her choice irrespective of any religion. Whether Nusrat Jahan wants to wear sindoor or not is her choice," she said.

Sadhvi Prachi also slammed the cleric for his statement and welcomed the lawmaker into her "community". "This is a good thing. A woman like Nusrat coming into our community is because their future is secure in our religion. She understands that the Hindu religion respects women," she told media in Muzaffarnagar.
Calling the cleric "cut piece", she said, "These are cut pieces. Their thoughts are dirty. They only talk to make headlines."
Nusrat Jahan had skipped oath-taking for Lok Sabha members on June 17 and 18 owing to her wedding festivities in Turkey.
