'If They Take Away One Hindu Woman, We'll Take Away 100 Muslim Women': Yogi Adityanath

  New Delhi:  BJP Member of Parliament Yogi Adityanath, who recently drew flak over his controversial statements in Parliament, has once again stirred a controversy.

In an undated video of his public speech that surfaced late on Tuesday, the lawmaker from Gorakhpur can be heard saying, "If they take away one Hindu woman, we will take away a 100 Muslim women".

The Opposition has slammed his remark, with Congress leader Rashid Alvi saying, "Only a man whose mind is sick can make such a statement. Only a man who is mentally imbalanced can say such things".

On August 13, he had delivered a controversial speech in Parliament, which included the declaration that "Hindus, when threatened, must be prepared to organise themselves and fight back."

His comments came during a debate on the disturbing trend of communal violence in states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.

The 42-year-old leader faces charges in cases linked to inciting communal tension.
