In yet another controversial statement, Unnao MP Sakshi Maharaj has said that all Hindu women must 'produce' at least four children. This BJP member of parliament believes that aggressive procreation is the only way to secure the future of Hinduism. Maharaj made these comments on January 6, while speaking at the second Sant Samagam Mahotsav in Meerut.

"It is a continuous affair and will not stop. India belonged to Hindus earlier, it belongs to Hindus now and will continue to belong to Hindus. Hinduism is something that needs to be absorbed and cannot be found lying in mosques or prostrating in churches," he further added.

The focus of the discussion organised at the Shanidham temple in Meerut by Shanipeethadheeshwar Mahant Mahendra Das and chief priest of the temple was the promotion of Hindutva. Maharaj also commented on the subject of cow slaughter, saying those involved in it should be given capital punishment.
