India Today
Earlier, Yogi Adityanath had expressed his concern over the growing population of Uttar Pradesh in a program in Lucknow on the occasion of World Population Day.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s statement on increasing population on the occasion of World Population Day erupted a debate. Now, BJP leader and former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi’s statement on the same has come to the fore. Naqvi said that linking an increase in the population with a religion is not justified. This is the problem of the whole country.
In a tweet, the minister wrote, “Population explosion is not the problem of any religion, it is a problem of the country. It is not fair to associate it with caste and any religion.”
