Controversial BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj, on Sunday, asked Hindus to keep bows and arrows at their homes, saying police will not come to their rescue when a crowd arrives to carry out “jihad”.
He also posted a picture of a crowd wearing skull caps and holding sticks on his Facebook page with the comment.
“If this crowd suddenly comes to your street or house, then do you have any way to save yourself? If not then make some arrangement. Police will not come to your rescue, they will hide somewhere to save themselves,” he said in his Facebook post.
“Police will come only when these people return after carrying out jihad. The matter will go to an inquiry committee and it will end there after sometime. For such guests, keep a couple of boxes of cold drink and some original bows and arrows in every house. Jai Shri Ram,” he said.
When asked about the post, Sakshi Maharaj said he completely agrees with its content.
The BJP MP did not give any direct reply as to why the post was needed but said, “Are Hindus only to take a beating.”
