NEW DELHI – In another incident of hate speech, senior Indian BJP MP fromUP, Hari Om Pandey on Friday blamed growing Muslim population forincreasing cases of rape and lynching.

Pandey said that Muslims who marry 3-4 times, have 9-10 kids, don’t get anyeducation and end up unemployed, are responsible for anarchy.

“Their population is increasing rapidly, they are demanding Sharia now thenlater they will demand new Pakistan,” Pandey said.

Known for making inflammatory comments, BJP MLA Gyan Dev Ahuja fromRajasthan made a bizarre demand to release the three accused involved inlynching Rakbar Khan.

Following state home minister Gulabchand Kataria statement that the28-year-old victim died under police custody, Ahuja asked him to let outthe “three innocents”.

The Congress blamed the BJP for perfecting a double game – of distancingfrom such statements and at the same time promoting the culprits by nottaking any action against them.
