Muzaffarnagar: India is a country for the Hindus as it is known as ‘Hindustan’, said BJP MLA Vikram Saini, who is an accused in the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots case and was detained under the National Security Act.
Known for making controversial statements, Saini said some “irresponsible leaders” had allowed some Muslims to live in India.
The MLA from Khatauli made the statement at an event held here on Monday.
“During partition, due to them (Muslims), the Hindus are facing problem in the country. If they (Muslims) had not stopped in India, property of crores would be of the Hindus,” Saini claimed.
In 2017, Saini had threatened to break the limbs of those who kill and disrespect cows, sparking a controversy.
