Caught on camera: BJP MP asks supporters to ‘convert 100 Muslim girls for 1 Hindu girl’

New Delhi: BJP MP Yogi Adityanath triggered a massive row after an undated video surfaced, in which he is caught on camera asking his supporters to marry girls of another community to set the records straight.

In the video, Yogi Adityanath is seen addressing his supporters and saying, “We have decided that if they convert one Hindu girl, we will convert 100 Muslim girls.”

However, on Wednesday he said that his remark on 'love jihad' is not authentic and blamed the media for showing unauthentic news.

This is not the first time when Yogi Adityanath has stirred controversy. Earlier, while addressing the Parliament on the issue of Communal Violence Bill, he accused the opposition Congress of working at the behest of Pakistan.

Adityanath is currently facing charges of inciting communal tension in Gorakhpur in 2007.
