Azam Khan advises Shahnawaz and Naqvi to marry Muslim women

March 05, 2015 16:45 IST

Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan on Thursday generated another controversy when he suggested to 2 senior Muslim Bharatiya Janata Party leaders to marry Muslim women.

“They have done Love Jihad (by marrying women belonging to Hindu community). Now they should marry a Muslim woman also. Four marriages are permitted in our religion. Sadhvi Prachi should say something on it also, as 40 children cannot be begotten by a single woman," Khan told reporters on Wednesday.

He was responding to a question about BJP leaders Shahnawaz Khan and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, who have married Hindu women.
