Union Minister Giriraj Singh stirred a controversy by saying India is heading towards a 1947-like partition by 2047 due to the rising population. He stressed the need to introduce a strict law to curb population.
Giriraj Singh: 'The country was divided based on religion in 1947. India's population was just 33 crore 72-years-ago. It has gone up to 135 crore by 2018. Neither Development nor Social Equitability is possible if the population isn't under control. A debate should happen from the streets to Parliament. Many Nations have a specific law for population control. Vote Bank Politics is the major hurdle for formulating such a law in India. Save Democracy with a law on population'.
The Minister opined that population explosion of divisive forces is dreadful. Pointing out the uproar over the discussion on 35A, He told it will become impossible even to mention about Bharat in future if corrective measures aren't taken.
