Hyderabad, October 09, 2022 (PPI-OT):Dismissing RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s talk of ‘religious imbalance’ in India, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that the population growth rate of Muslims is actually on the decline. Owaisi’s remarks came after Bhagwat expressed concerns over the population imbalance. In his speech at the annual Dussehra rally of the RSS, he also called for a comprehensive policy to check population rise.
The Hyderabad MP said that Bhagwat is trying to create fears about Muslim population while the fact is that their population is coming down. “Don’t take tension. Muslim population is not rising. In fact, it is on the decline,” he said while addressing a public meeting late Saturday night on occasion of Milad-un-Nabi SAW. “The gap between two children is called spacing. Do you know who is maintaining that the most? We Muslims. Who is using condoms the most? We are doing,” he said and questioned the silence of Bhagwat on these ‘facts’.
Owaisi found fault with the RSS chief for speaking without data. He pointed out that Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in the country has dropped to two per cent. Citing the national family health survey, he said the TFR fall was steepest among Muslims.
