<b>Hindus, bear more kids!: VHP </b>

DH News Service Hubli:

Predicting a Hindu Rashtra in the future, Mr Singhal said once that happened, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi would have to pack up.

“Dump the two-child norm and have lots of children.” Hindus were exhorted, thus, by Vishwa Hindu Parishat international President Ashok Singhal, who added: “The Parishat too rejects the small family norm, which is not practised by Muslims.”

The VHP leader was reacting to a question when he stated at a press conference here that in the next 55 years, the Muslim population would touch 50 per cent of the country’s populace.

“If they (Muslims) don’t want family planning, why do we (Hindus),” he countered.

Noting that there was an influx of people from Bangladesh on one hand, on the other Muslims marry three-four times and bear lots of children. “Are they not living, same way there will be no problem for food and water. Hindus should shed family planning and increase their numerical strength. By God’s grace the country will sustain itself,” Mr Singhal said.
