RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Stresses Demographic Imbalance Over Population Control
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said demographic imbalance in India requires more urgent attention than population control, citing the country's youthful population and future needs. He stated that India will have to think about feeding its growing population and consider factors such as women's health and education.
Mr. Bhagwat also discussed the National Population Policy, claiming that the current Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2.1 is not accurate and emphasizing the need for government awareness and implementation without discrimination.
In addition to population issues, Mr. Bhagwat addressed questions on the Common Civil Code, expressing optimism about its gradual implementation across India, and the need for patience in democratic processes.
He also stressed the importance of social harmony and oneness among different religions and communities, warning that a lack of harmony could lead to self-destruction.
The RSS chief's comments come as part of a larger discussion on social harmony and national development, with the government and civil society expected to respond to his suggestions in the coming days. The next steps will likely involve further debate and discussion on the issues raised by Mr. Bhagwat.
