Madhya Pradesh: BJP MP stuns audience with his 'babies being born online' remark

BHOPAL: BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh's Rewa constituency, 68-year-old Janardan Mishra, on Saturday gave a bizarre speech on love, marriage and mobile phones in the presence of governor Mangubhai Patel.

"I was thinking that people have started getting married online. Some 50-60 years later, when babies are born online, will these babies be made of steel or flesh and bones," he said as Patel looked on.

Patel and Mishra were at the 60th anniversary celebration of Rewa Govt Engineering College. Those attending the event were taken aback by the MP's speech.

"Today we are celebrating the 60th foundation year. But 60 years into the future, will scholars be here as students? Will human beings still work as the dean, principal, professors or will there be machines?"

He then went on to describe how mobile phones have entered the bedrooms of married couples. "I have never tried peeping into the beds of husbands and wives. But people say that these days when the husband and wife lay down on bed, one of them faces south and the other north. They sigh to their mobiles."
