Baghpat (UP): The self-styled guardians of morality and social values in India are getting more brazen day-by-day. The leader of Balian Khap Choudhary, Naresh Tikait, on Thursday in Baghpat gave a bizarre statement on love marriage. Tikait is also the president of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU). Tikait said,”Hum ladkiyon ko padhavein, unki padhai mein 20-30 lakh kharch karein aur shadi vo karlein apni marzi se, toh pariwar toh barbaad ho jaata hain. Prem vivah bahut galat hain, hum iski kabhi bhi manzoori nahi denge.
[We spent Rs 20-30 lakh on our girl child’s studies, we bring them up and they marry by their own will and choice. Love marriage is unacceptable. We will never allow it.]”
Balyan Khap has 100 villages. It’s head village is Sisauli in Muzaffarnagar.
