Sacrifice Your Sons Instead Of Goats On Eid al-Adha, Says BJP MLA Usha Thakur To Muslims

Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Usha Thakur on Friday courted controversy by questioning the Eid al-Adha rituals and implied that Muslim community should sacrifice their sons instead of goats, reports India Today.

She said as per a tale, Muslims were supposed to sacrifice their sons but the son changed into a goat. So Muslims should sacrifice their sons instead of killing innocent animals, she said.

The Indore MLA had also said that true Muslims should not visit any Durga pandal as the Quran prohibits idol worship.

"The Quran says that the worshipping of idols is prohibited. Therefore, any true Muslim should not go to any Durga pandal," Thakur said. Thakur said Durga Puja and Garba are not sources of entertainment, but a reflection of the faith Hindus have on their goddess, she stated.
