New Delhi, July 22 (TNS): Indian ruling party BJP’s MP Sakshi Maharaj, known for making controversial remarks, said on Sunday that those who wanted Shariat in the country “should go to Pakistan”.
He was responding to a reporter’s query that some organisations were seeking ‘Shariat courts’ to resolve the personal disputes of Muslims.
“India is the world’s largest democracy. Indian Constitution is very strong. Those who need ‘Shariat’ should go to Pakistan. India will be governed only according to its Constitution and not as per any Shariat,” Maharaj said.
The BJP MP said those who do not have faith in the Constitution of India, “have no right” to stay in the country.
“We would be happy bidding them farewell,” he added. Maharaj has often stoked controversies.
