Hari Om Pandey, a senior BJP leader got embroiled in a controversy as he said that there's an increase in heinous crimes like murders and rapes in the country, primarily due to the increase of Muslim population in India. The Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh MP belonging to BJP added that if the trend continues, very soon, another new nation will be carved out of India just like the partition of Pakistan, in case government fails to put a control on the constantly increasing Muslim population.
Hari Om said that antisocial acts
like rape, sexual abuse, terrorism, exist and keep rising because of Muslim
population, adding that the Muslim population has increased rapidly since
Independence. Hari Om said that this population increase will lead to unemployment
and decline of economy, ultimately bringing anarchy in the nation. 
He further degraded Muslims saying
that they marry multiple times and give birth to too many kids, depriving them
of education and soon they'll be demanding a new country.
