Kanpur Mayor Pramila Pandey on July 18 demanded the Uttar Pradesh Government to bring a rule so that no person from Muslim community can buy a house belonging to Hindus and vice versa.
“I will also demand from my government, that no Muslim could buy the house/property of a Hindu and no Hindu could buy the house of a Muslim,” said Ms. Pandey after reaching Munshi Purva locality in the city as locals complained about encroachment on a temple premises by a Muslim family. Ms. Pandey became furious after seeing the garbage on the temple premises.
She could also be purportedly heard saying, “Hindus think they [Muslims] are giving more money, so sell them their [Hindus] houses”.
