The MLA said that after pregnancy, girls go with non-Hindus and give birth to 900,000 children the following year; entry of non-Hindus will be prohibited.

The rhetoric about Garba during Navratri continues from the leaders of Madhya Pradesh. Now, BJP MLA Usha Thakur's name has also been added to this list from Mau. Thakur has demanded a ban on the entry of non-Hindus into Garba pandals. Thakur said that every year, approximately 450,000 Hindu girls elope with non-Hindus and give birth to about 900,000 children the following year. The MLA stated this in an informal discussion with the media on Tuesday.
