Unnao (UP), Oct 26 (IANS): BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj has once again stirred up a controversy, saying that demarcation of cremation grounds and graveyards at different places in Uttar Pradesh should be done on the basis of population of two major communities.

He also said that the Muslims should also start burning their dead instead of burying them.

"There are around 2 to 2.5 crore 'sadhus' in the country and if we start building 'samadhis' for all of them, one can imagine the amount of land that will be needed. Similarly, there are 20 crore Muslims in India, and if all have to be buried, then what about the land availability?" he asked while addressing a public meeting in support of BJP candidate Shrikant Katiyar in Bangarmau seat bypoll in his Unnao parliamentary constituency on Sunday.

Sakshi Maharaj further said that there should be a law under which no land should be given for burials and all communities should opt for cremation. "Otherwise, one day, we will not even have land left for farming in the country," he claimed and added that "our patience and decency should not be tested".

The Samajwadi Party said that the BJP was pursuing "politics of hatred, which was what they do in every election".

    In a country like UK the burial places are available for a price for anyone preferring burial. No one is forced to accept cremation, but the cost of cremation is much lesser than burial. The burial place also can turn up as a family burial place for a fixed period of time where another person from the family can be buried in the same grave.
    Rotating the burial places for multiple burrials can resolve the issue of land.
    But nothing can help a population driven by mutual hatred counting the dead bodies while still living.
