AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has responded to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat’s community-based population imbalance remark.
“We are using condoms the most,” the MP said, adding that the total fertility rate of Muslims has fallen.
“Don’t fret, the Muslim population is not increasing, it’s rather falling… Who’s using condoms the most? We are. ” Asaduddin Owaisi was heard saying while addressing a gathering.
Mohan Bhagwat, while raising the issue of ‘demographic imbalance’, called for a well-thought-out and comprehensive population control policy applicable to all social groups equally.
He also said that community-based “population imbalance” is an important subject and should not be ignored.
Giving reference to Quran, he said, “I invite you, Bhagwat Sahab, to read the Qur’an. Allah tells us that killing a foetus is a very big sin. The gap between two pregnancies is done by Muslims and condoms are mostly used by them.
The AIMIM chief said, “The total fertility rate of Muslims has declined to 2 per cent as per records of the National Family Health survey. If you misrepresent history, then it is your mistake.”
