BJP MP Ravi Kishan has blamed Congress for having four children, and said that he would have stopped if the grand old party had a population control law at the time of having them.
Speaking at an Aaj Tak media conclave, the Lok Sabha MP from Gorakhpur was asked about tabling a population control bill in Parliament, even though he himself has four kids.
To this, he replied saying, “it is true that I have four children. So I know the struggle of raising them…..Had the Congress government brought the bill earlier, I would have stopped.”
What is the population control bill?
BJP leaders in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Assam have suggested to impose population control measures and hence some BJP politicians will introduce private memebers’ population control bills in the Parliament’s Monsoon Session.
Till now, the UP law commission has drafted Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilisation and Welfare) Bill, 2021.
Under this, anyone who has more than two children can be denied government jobs, place in government departments etc. No person can stand in local body elections or can get a seat in the state’s legislative assembly.
