Known for making controversial statements in the past, BJP’s Unnao MP Sakshi Maharaj on Monday supported the Shiv Sena’s view on revocation of Muslims’ voting rights, stating appeasement politics should end.
While speaking to ANI, Maharaj said, “The politics of appeasement will not work now in the country, It should end now.”
Further taking jibe at his previous remarks, he said, “Hum chaar bache ki baat keh de toh aag lag jaati hai, par chaar biwi aur chaalis bache se kahin aag nahi lagti (Even if we talk of four kids, controversy erupts, but there is no controversy on having four wives or forty children.)
Sakshi’s comments came a day after Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut stoked a controversy through his article in party’s mouthpiece, Saamana, demanding revocation of Muslims’ voting right.
The Sena leader has also called All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leaders, Asaduddin and Akbaruddin Owaisi, a threat to the nation.
“Balasaheb had once said to withdraw Muslims voting rights. Owaisi brothers are doing politics of Muslim votes. They are threat to the nation,” wrote Raut.
