New Delhi : AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has lashed out at BJP leader Navneet Rana for her controversial remark on having four children to ensure that the country’s demographic setup does not change to that of Pakistan. I have six children and my beard is turning white. Somebody said that one should have four children. Why four? Give birth to eight children, who is stopping you?” he said at a rally in Maharashtra’s Akola.
Earlier, Rana had said that some people have multiple wives and several children, thereby keeping their population growing, and to beat that, she urged Hindus to have “at least three to four children” to protect India. I appeal to all Hindus. Listen, these people openly say they have four wives and 19 children. I suggest we should give birth to at least three to four children,” the BJP leader said. “I don’t know whether he is Maulana or someone else, but he said he has 19 children and four wives, but he could not complete a quorum of 30 children.
Her remarks triggered a political row, with Congress MP Manickam Tagore calling for the end of such “mad thinking” by the RSS and the BJP. “We should be scientific in numbers, not have such a superstitious or unscientific manner. “I appeal to all Hindus. Listen, these people openly say they have four wives and 19 children. I suggest we should give birth to at least three to four children. I don’t know whether he is Maulana or someone else, but he said he has 19 children and four wives, but he could not complete a quorum of 30 children.
They plan to turn Hindustan into Pakistan by giving birth to children in large numbers, so why should we be satisfied with just one child? We should also give birth to three to four children,” the former MP said. Owaisi further recalled Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu speaking about having more than three children – in the presence of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. “So do it, no one is stopping you,” Owaisi said.
