Kolkata: Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan, who is facing flak over his comments on Dadri incident, has condemned VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi's comment that "it is time to make India Muslim free".

"Such comments should not be made. I condemn it. It is wrong to make such statements," Balyan, Union Minister of State for Agriculture, told PTI when asked to react on Sadhvi Prachi's comments.

On Sadhvi Prachi's another statement that Yogi Adityanath should be made BJP's chief ministerial candidate for the forthcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Balyan said, "I am not the right person to comment on it.

Known for courting controversies, on Tuesday the VHP leader has claimed in Roorkee in UP that the mission of a Congress-free India has already been "accomplished" and it is "now time to make India Muslim-free"

She became a near-household name after she called for the boycotting of the Khans — Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh — while suggesting that their films were spreading a culture of violence and advised youngsters not to idolise them. Prachi went ahead and urged the Bajrangis to tear posters of Khans' films and "burn them in the fire of Holi".

Earlier, she also voiced her views on 'love jihad' (a phenomenon where men want to desperately defend women's honour by not letting them choose their mates).
