BJP MLA said it is something the entire country should be celebrating.

MUZAFFARNAGAR (Dunya News) - Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Vikram Singh Saini on Wednesday stooped down to new low by passing churlish remarks about Kashmiri girls saying that their party workers are excited to marry a ‘fair-skinned’ Kashmiri girl after the valley’s special status has ended.

In a purported video that went viral, the MLA is seen speaking at an event to celebrate the scrapping of special status of Kashmir, in Katauli area of Muzaffarnagar.

He said that everyone should celebrate the scrapping of the articles as they can get married to fair-skinned girls in Kashmir which “something the entire country should be celebrating”.

He went on to express his ill-natured remarks by saying that the workers are very excited and those who are bachelors, they can get married there as there is no issue now. “If a woman from there [Kashmir] got married to a man from Uttar Pradesh, her citizenship would be revoked” he added.

Vikram Singh told the Indian Express about his remarks, the MLA said he had said nothing wrong. “Now anyone can get married to a Kashmiri girl without any issue. That is all I said and it is the truth," he adamently stated unchivarolous comment.

BJP showed ill-mannered behavior towards the end of Kashmir’s special status expressing, “Modi [Indian PM] ji, you have fulfilled my dream. “Yesterday, I called a person I know and asked him if there was a house there [Kashmir],” he added. “I would want to get a house in Kashmir. Everything over there is beautiful – the place and women.”
