BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj has done it again. In a recent statement he has said that Muslims also should be cremated like Hindus.
 
We all know that in Abrahmic religions like Jews, Christianity and Islam, people after death are buried under the ground, unlike Hindus who preform a ceremony of cremation. But Sakshi Maharaj wants even Muslims to be cremated.

Why? Well, because there is not enough land to bury so many people, around 200 million in all, according to him. 
 
Few days ago Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also said during one of his election rallies in UP that there should be as many Shamshans (cremation grounds for Hindus) as Qabrastans (graveyards of Muslims).

He was referring to the appeasement of Muslims done by SP regime of UP, where a lot of land has been alotted for graveyards. Now Sakshi Maharaj has taken this issue to a different level. His statement is bound to raise few eyebrows in UP.
