Muzaffarnagar: Vikram Saini, a BJP lawmaker from Muzaffarnagar, has urged Hindus to produce more children until a law for population control comes into existence.

Khatauli constituency MLA in Muzaffarnagar district, made these remarks while addressing a population control campaign program.

"Until a law on population control comes into existence, I have told my wife to keep producing children, even though she told me that two were enough," Saini said.

On the need to adopt a two-child policy, the BJP leader said that only Hindus have accepted the policy, while others have not.

"The law should be equal for everyone. When we had two children, my wife said we did not need a third one, but I said we should have four to five," he added.

Earlier in January, he had said that "Hindustan is for Hindus" while asking Muslims to go to Pakistan.

Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.

In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.

Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.

He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.

Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.

He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.

Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.

He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
