"My personal view is that those who say they feel unsafe and threatened in India should be bombed, give me a ministry and I will bomb all such people, not even one will be spared," said Vikram Saini, according to ANI news agency.

A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator has called for "bombing for all those persons feeling unsafe in India".

"My personal view is that those who say they feel unsafe and threatened in India should be bombed, give me a ministry and I will bomb all such people, not even one will be spared," said Vikram Saini, according to ANI news agency.

Saini, who is known for making controversial comments, is an accused in the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots case and was detained under the National Security Act.

He represents Khatauli constituency in the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly.

In February this year, Saini had urged Hindus to produce more children "until a law for population control comes into existence".

"Until a law on population control comes into existence, I have told my wife to keep producing children, even though she told me that two were enough," Saini had said, according to Zee News.
