People who feel unsafe in India are traitors, should be bombed: BJP MLA

People who say that they do not feel safe in India are traitors and should be bombed, a BJP MLA from Muzaffarnagar, Vikram Saini has been quoted as saying by ANI today.

"My personal view is that those who say they feel unsafe and threatened in India should be bombed, give me a ministry and I will bomb all such people, not even one will be spared," he was seen saying in the video which was tweeted by ANI a while ago.

He further added: "Such people are traitors. Some arrangments must be made for them. They should be punished. They should leave the country. Why should you stay here if you do not have any patriotic feelings towards your country. If you feel unsafe, go where you feel safe. Who has stopped them?”


His comments came days after veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah courted controversy after saying that he feels worried for his children and that the death of a cow is given more significance than of a police officer in India.

This is however not the first time that the BJP MLA has made such remarks. Last year he reportedly told that he would "break the hands and legs of anyone who disrespects or kills cows".

Saini is one of the accused in the 2003 Muzaffarnagar riots case.
