New Delhi: A day after Rahul Gandhi said that BJP leaders take two steps back when he goes near them, thinking that he would hug them too, a BJP MP on Wednesday quipped that they are indeed scared of the Congress president's hug. However, he added that he is ready to hug Rahul once the Congress chief gets married.
Mocking Rahul, he also said that he will avoid giving a hug to the Gandhi scion as Section 377 has not been scrapped yet. "Yes we do fear hugging Rahul Gandhi as our wives might divorce us after that. Also, Section 377 hasn't been scrapped as yet. If he gets married, we will hug him," BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said.

We'll take on PM and the BJP, but we don't need to hate them," he had said while addressing at a book launch event in New Delhi.
