Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan on Thursday generated another controversy when he suggested to two senior Muslim BJP 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.
