Raipur: Former Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Pravin Togadia on Sunday termed India’s growing population as a “ticking time bomb” and stressed the need to enact laws to prevent its explosion and its ill-effects. He also hoped that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah would bring a law for population control and Uniform Civil Code (UCC) before the parliamentary elections next year.
Togadia, president of the International Hindu Council, was talking to reporters in Chhattisgarh’s capital Raipur before addressing a public meeting in Basna area of Mahasamund district of the state.
When asked about the demand for population control law, Togadia said, “The increasing population and population imbalance is a time bomb and when it explodes, a situation of civil war will arise in cities and villages.” Therefore, there is a need to enact a population control law to prevent such a situation.”
“I am confident that Narendrabhai Modi and Amitbhai will enter the 2024 elections after enacting laws regarding population control, UCC and construction of temples in Kashi and Mathura. These steps will not only protect Hindus, but will ) will also protect votes.” He added.
In answer to another question, he said that India is already a Hindu nation and we want to establish it as a Hindu political state. India is a Hindu majority country and we will not allow Hindus to feel unsafe anywhere in India.
