Hindus can have more children like Muslims if they do not wait until 40 to get married, AIUDF chief said
GUWAHATI
All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief and Assam MP, Maulana Badruddin Ajmal, courted controversy by advising Hindus to marry at a young age for producing more children like Muslims.
He also ruffled some feathers by indicating Hindu men do not have it in them to reproduce when they wed at 40 years after enjoying a near-conjugal life with more than one woman.
“Muslim boys and girls marry at 22 and 18. Hindu men do not let babies be born till the age of 40 to save money but enjoy with one to three illegal wives,” Mr. Ajmal told a news channel in southern Assam’s Karimganj on Friday.
“They [Hindu men] marry after 40 if forced by their parents or for some other reasons. Such an age is not ideal for having babies. You get a good harvest only if you plough a fertile land on time,” the AIUDF leader who represents the Dhubri Lok Sabha seat said, suggesting the ‘Muslim formula’ of marriage for Hindus to ensure a large family.
He asked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to counter the alleged “love jihad” with something similar on Muslim girls.
Ranjib Kumar Sharma, spokesperson of the BJP’s Assam unit slammed Mr. Ajmal for “trying to continue the culture of building harems that Muslim invaders had started after killing Hindu men”.
