According to News 18, speaking about Bhasker's comments, Rathore said no one has the right to make derogatory remarks about Sanatan traditions or the sacrifices associated with Rajput women. She maintained that discussions surrounding Jauhar should be rooted in historical facts rather than interpreted without considering the context of the era.
