Sakshi Maharaj says ‘minority status of Muslims be ended’
Description
KANPUR: BJP MP from Unnao Sakshi Maharaj on Saturday said “as there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan, their minority status should be ended”. Sakshi was addressing a gathering at an inauguration ceremony of an anganbadi kendra in Babakheda under Nawabganj block of Unnao. He said, “There is more Muslim population in India than Pakistan, therefore the minority status of Muslims should be abolished with immediate effect. Also, Muslims should now consider themselves to be younger siblings of Hindus and live with them in the country.” Speaking over the rising population of the country, Sakshi said, “Soon a bill would be tabled in Parliament to check the increasing population. Those who will have more than two children, will be deprived from contesting elections.” Sakshi further attacked opposition parties on the farmers’ ongoing protest against farm laws, and said, “The government is ready to talk about the farm laws.” He lashed out at the Congress, saying that “like the Ram temple, the Congress and other political parties should appeal in Supreme Court on the agricultural bill. Rather, they are firing guns by keeping it on innocent farmers’ shoulders”.
