AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi reacts to RSS chief's remark on population control

HYDERABAD: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has asked RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to "not fret" as the Muslim population was "rather declining" in the country, asserting that Indian Muslims were the ones using contraceptives the most. His remarks came days after Bhagwat had called for a comprehensive population policy to ensure that the rising population do not become a burden but can be used as a resource. "Don't fret. The Muslim population is not increasing. It's rather falling... Who's using condoms the most? We are. Mohan Bhagwat won't speak on this," Owaisi said.

Addressing the annual RSS Vijayadashmi festival, Bhagwat called for a "comprehensive policy on population" and said that it should be applied equally to all. "Population control and religion-based population balance is an important subject that can no longer be ignored... So a comprehensive population policy should be brought and should be equally applicable to all. Only then rules pertaining to population control will yield results," he had said. ANI
