BJP leader Sakshi Maharaj said on Tuesday there should be no graveyards at all in the country and all should be cremated.

The BJP MP from Unnao said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi said a crematorium should be constructed next to a graveyard. But graveyards should not be constructed at all. If this happens, all land in the country will be used for this purpose and no space will be left for practising agriculture... There will be no fields.”

Maharaj, who is known for his controversial remarks, claimed, “There is no tradition of constructing graveyards in Islamic countries across the world. The bodies are cremated in these countries. There are about 3.5 crore Hindu saints in India. They follow the tradition of burying the dead.

“So, I want to appeal to the Prime Minister that there should be only one cremation ground which should lead to ‘jannat’ or ‘moksh dwaar’.”

The BJP leader said a new law with “no room for graveyards should be enacted. There should be a joint crematorium for all. And if there is one, the outcome will be positive”.

Later, clarifying his remarks, he said, “The population of the country is increasing and there is a paucity of land. Where will people live if all the land is used for constructing graveyards.”

“I am not against what the Prime Minister has said. I said that whatever the name of the place maybe, it should serve the purpose of cremating the dead. There is no need to bury anyone.”

Christians and Jews eat beef then why don't Hindu's? If we initiate this vicious cycle of analogies, it wont bear anything positive for anyone. Let's just not challenge each others religious values and principles and leave it up to the respective adherents to decide what is right . :cheers:

Because there is no need or reason for muslims to cremate their dead
UP see communal fights over ever expanding kabristan, at least this issue can be debated upon. This guy is a motormouth but at least this topic can be debated at large among Indians.

Hindus do eat beef in many parts of India. And this issue is often comes up for debate.

There can be riots on anything. That doesn't mean Muslims would start changing their customs and religion because of that.
