AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi Questions RSS Push For Three Children, Calls Out ‘Double-Speak’ News24 –

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed RSS while accusing the organisation of “double-speak”. The AIMIM chief said there have been proposals during the BJP-led government for a law on population control, and now the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat is advocating three children per family.

On Thursday, the RSS chief made a pitch, stating that every Indian family should have three children.

Owaisi asserted that the RSS chief did not talk of providing jobs to 60 per cent of the country’s population, which is young. He alleged that Muslims have been targeted over population growth.

“Now they are saying that each family should have three children. Earlier, they were saying that there should be a law on population that if there are more than two children in a family, then they should not be eligible for a government job,” he said.

Owaisi said the decision on family size should be left to the wishes of the members and there should be no pressure.

“This should be left to the decision of family members. Mohan Bhagwat is placing a burden on women…., he is misleading the country. Sixty per cent of the population which is young at present, Bhagwat is not talking about giving jobs to them. He is not talking about making them productive. RSS indulges in double speak. They mislead the people,” he said.

He said RSS leaders make remarks through which the BJP can gain an advantage.

In his remarks, Mohan Bhagwat said population growth can serve as both an asset and a burden.

“Our country’s population policy recommends 2.1 children (on average). In maths, 2.1 is 2, but with the birth of children after 2, it is 3, which is why 2.1 means three. Every citizen should see that there should be three children in his/her family,” the RSS chief said.
