Firebrand BJP leader Yogi Adityanath has attacked the minority community, saying riots happen wherever they are more than 20 per cent in number at a place.
Defending his provocative speeches, the Gorakhpur MP, who is among the three party leaders entrusted with leading the BJP campaign for the coming by-elections in Uttar Pradesh, said Hindus would reply “in the same language” if they were subjected to attacks or forcible conversions.
Talking about communal riots, he told Rajat Sharma in ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ programme on India TV that there are three categories of places where they occur, according to a press release issued by the channel.
“In places where there are 10 to 20 per cent minorities, stray communal incidents take place. Where there are 20 to 35 per cent of them, serious communal riots take place, and where they are more than 35 per cent, there is no place for non-Muslims,” he said. The BJP leader is under attack after two CDs recently surfaced in which he is shown making inflammatory speeches.
