Twitter Unites To Make Sanitary Napkins Tax Free #LahukaLagaan

Twitter is a mysterious place. You might find it a conflict war zone one day, and a love paradise on the other. Be it a meaningless war of words or some thought provoking perspectives, a lot is being tweeted every second on this social media platform.

Recently, twitterverse appealed to our Minister of Finance, Arun Jaitley, to make sanitary napkins tax-free after SheSays started this campaign. This small ripple of hope became huge when the support started pouring in from entertainment industry and other influential celebrities. The hashtag #LahukaLagaan trended and garnered a massive reach.
