The Vishwa Hindu Parishad flags different Total Fertillity Rates (TFR) between Hindu and Muslim communities in some States.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has raised objections to incentivising of public servants and others to follow the “one child norm” mentioned in certain sections of the proposed Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilisation and Welfare) Bill, 2021. The objections pertain to not just a the fact that China has had to reverse its one child policy because of its negative impact of availability of a working population, but because of what the VHP terms “imbalance between different communities because they are known to respond differently to family planning and contraception” flagging different Total Fertillity Rates (TFR) between Hindu and Muslim communities in states such as Kerala and Assam.More Related News
