Strictly implement two-children norm for Muslims to ensure well-being of Hindus: VHP leader Pravin Togadia

Raising concerns over the religious census report which pointed towards the rise in the percentage of Muslims in India, Vishwa Hindu Parishad acting president Pravin Togadia said that Muslims should be punished if they give birth to more than two children.

"It is must to strictly implement two children norm irrespective of the political pressures. Rather than subsidising each birth of a Muslim kid, it is must that after two children, there has to be the strictest curb. Perhaps a punishable criminal offence and stopping the ration, jobs, educational facilities will streamline the population facilitation towards better development," he wrote in the RSS mouthpiece Organiser.

Commenting on the rise of Muslims and the decrease in Hindu population in many regions, Togadia said, "Hindus in Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uganda and recently in Kashmir vanished; they did not evaporate in the thin air; they were hassled/killed in ethnic cleansing/hoarded out with terror and threats/forcibly converted. There is method in the systematic growth of Muslims in Bharat; it is not a mere accident."

He also held vote politics responsible for the "lop sided" growth in the population of Muslims and the "colossal slide" of Hindu population. In the nation, where most socio-economic decisions depend on the Governments, those who control the vote balance matter the most. In simple words, just because Hindus are 79% and Muslims 14%, does not mean that Hindus will have any say on the polity and the policy decisions," he said.

He said that Muslim use the vote-bank so they compel the electoral system to give them benefits in education, jobs, loans, properties and many such socio-economic aspects.

"Hindus have shrunk over the ages only to Bharat as a nation and are scattered in some limited nations as a vulnerable minority. This is a serious calamity and the immediate concrete steps are needed to protect Hindus and Bharat.

In words that could be termed as spitting venom against Muslims, he said that strong resolve to immediately tackle the alarming increase in Muslim population "will safeguard Bharat and ensure total Hindu well-being".

"When it is convenient to them, they claim that they are the ‘poor, underprivileged minority’ and when it comes to do ‘Vote Jihad’ they claim that they are ‘the second largest majority’," he said.
