RSS Calls for Population Control Policy Amid Demographic Concerns
A large group in India called the RSS held a meeting and said the government needs to make a new plan about population quickly.
The RSS thinks there's an imbalance because of people coming from other countries without permission, religious conversions, and some groups having more babies.
They believe the government should control the population to help the country.
The RSS leader also said that banning their organization is not fair and requires real reasons.
He mentioned that the Congress president recently suggested banning the RSS, but the RSS leader believes such ideas are based on personal opinions and past experiences.
RSS urged the Union government to expedite a new national population policy to address demographic imbalance.
RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale cited infiltrators, conversion, and high birth rates in certain communities as causes for concern.
The RSS emphasized that population control is the government's responsibility and stressed the need for swift policy implementation.
Hosabale dismissed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's call to ban the RSS, stating that bans require valid reasons.
Kharge had previously expressed a personal opinion that the RSS should be banned, linking the organization to law and order problems.
