Patna: A BJP leader's remark that his party would get girls from Bihar so that Haryana men can marry triggered a storm in the Bihar assembly on Monday, with JD-U and RJD legislators disrupting the proceedings and demanding his arrest.

The Bihar assembly was on Monday adjourned thrice over BJP leader O.P. Dhankar's remark. Incensed legislators of the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) demonstrated against Dhankar's remark at the gate of the assembly and later created a ruckus in the house. On Sunday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha national president Dhankar allegedly said the party would get girls from Bihar to ensure that men in Haryana can get married. He made the remark during a meeting of party workers in Haryana, a state known for its skewed sex ratio.
