Sadhvi Prachi has again attracted controversy, this time for asking Hindus to boycott Khan movies as 'they promote Love Jihad'. The BJP leader also advised for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to get married, preferably to an Indian girl, say reports.
Sadhvi Prachi had earlier said that Hindu women should have four children as Muslims were "trapping our daughters through 'love jihad'".
This time she has suggested that Hindus boycott Khan movies to prevent love jihad from taking place. She exhorted that all posters of Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan be torn of the walls and burned in the fire of Holi.

She also had a piece of advice for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Referring to Gandhi's short break from politics, she reportedly said that Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi and sister Priyanka Gandhi were worried as he had 'gone missing'. In order to allay their concerns he should get married, preferrably an Indian girl, say reports.

She also joined other Hindutva leaders in criticising Mother Teresa. According to reports, she alleged that Mother Teresa converted lower caste Hindus into Christianity and was against laws forbidding conversion.
Sadhvi Prachi's comments have gained criticism from politicians and Bollywood. Trinamool Congress has given notice in Rajya Sabha over Sadhvi Prachi's statement.
Javed Akhtar's gave a tongue in cheek response saying that it was a good thing that Sadhvi Prachi has commented about boycotting Khan movies as she will now realise that Hindus do not pay heed to what she says.
