<<Dattatreya Hosabale, general secretary of the RSS, expressed concern about India’s population imbalance on Wednesday, stressing the importance of strict enforcement of anti-conversion laws and the formulation of a uniform population policy.
The RSS general secretary, speaking to reporters after a four-day Akhil Bhartiya Karyakari Mandal meeting of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, said the organization is working to raise awareness about religious conversions. Hosabale also stated that RSS led Ghar Wapsi drive has given favourable outcomes in bringing back people who converted to other faiths like Islam and Christianity. The RSS leader raised concern over decreasing population of Hindus and added that India needs to have a uniform population policy. “Due to religious conversions, the Hindu population has dwindled. Trespassing in certain parts of the country has exacerbated the problem, which must be addressed. Thus, India should have a population policy that has been thoroughly thought out and is equally applicable to all communities,” he said on the final day of the RSS working committee meeting. The RSS leader warned that population imbalance has in the past led to partition in many countries, including India. He also pointed out that after conversions, infiltration is the second biggest reason behind population imbalance. “Population imbalance leads to alteration of geographical boundaries. Religious conversions and migration from other countries need to be stopped,” he asserted.>> (Excerpted from: '‘Religious conversion, infiltration altering demography, India needs effective population control policy’: RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale' at < https://www.opindia.com/2022/10/religious-conversion-infiltration-causing-population-imbalance-need-effective-population-control-policy-rss-general-secretary-dattatreya-hosabale/ >.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
