BJP Lawmaker: Now marry fair Kashmiris

Muzaffarnagar: A BJP lawmaker explaining the merits of the Centre's move to end special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 offered this appalling point - that party workers could now marry fair women from Kashmir.

Vikram Saini, UP legislator, is no stranger to controversy. His misogynistic statements have been caught on camera. With the government's Kashmir decision, BJP workers could now go there, buy plots of land and get married, Vikram Saini said on Tuesday at a function at Muzaffarnagar to celebrate the Article 370 move.

"The workers are very excited and those who are bachelors can get married there. There is no issue now. Earlier, there was lot of atrocities on women. If a woman from Kashmir got married to a man from Uttar Pradesh, her citizenship would be revoked."
