Controversial Unnao BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj has triggered a storm once again with his statement said that Muslims should not be given 'minority' status and barred from giving any political representation.

Addressing a gathering at his Lok Sabha segment on Saturday, Sakshi Maharaj claimed that "soon there will be a bill to control Muslim population". 

"There are more Muslims in India than Pakistan. Therefore the minority status of the Muslims should be abolished with immediate effect. Muslims should now consider themselves to be the younger siblings of the Hindus and live with them in the country," Maharaj was quoted as saying. 
 
"Soon a bill would be tabled in Parliament to check the increasing population. Those who will have more than two children, will be deprived from contesting elections," he added.
