New Delhi: In the midst of the impulse for the population control policy by several countries ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party, the leader of the Senior Shashi Tharoor Congress on Saturday accused the BJP motive to increase this issue, political and aimed at targeting “certain communities”.
The former Union Minister said the population debate was “truly wrong place” and half a century which expired because most Indian countries have reached the fertility level of replacement.
In an interview with PTI, Tharoor said a greater challenge for India in the next 20 years will prepare an aging population, not a growing population.
He accused the powerful party to raise this problem from “thinly hidden motivation” to target “certain communities”.
“There was no accident that three states where the government was talking about the reduction in population rises (Uttar Pradesh), Assam and Lakshadweep, where everyone knew who the intended audience was,” said MP Lok Sabha from Thiruvananthapuram.
“Hindutva elements in our government have not really studied demographic problems.
Their motives are purely political and communal,” he said when asked about the impulse for the population control above and Assam.
Tharoor’s statement came a few days after the population control bill of Uttar Pradesh was used as a public and the Assam government proposed policy formulation in this matter.
Both countries are controlled by BJP.
The bill bill has provisions for pounding people who have more than two children from the benefits of the government scheme and propose benefits to those who follow the two-child policy.
Also, some BJP parliamentarians are arranged to introduce private member bills in the uniform control population and civil code in the upcoming rainy season parliamentary session, according to information from the Second Secretariat of the House.
The rainy season session began on July 19 and will conclude on August 13.
Asked about the upcoming parliamentary sessions and the main problems of the Congress and the opposition would increase, Tharoor said the government had been “very competent ‘that there were several problems” we need to increase public interest “.” The inability of the government in disaster races from Covid, especially vaccine policies that are full of errors; Sustainable failure to resolve farmer agitation; The crater economy, with the growth of GDP at the lowest date in three decades, “he said registering a problem, the opposition needs to focus on parliament.
He also refers to” price increases caused by fuel tax that is too high; The worst unemployed ever recorded “, France’s investigation against corruption in the Rafale agreement” situation on the Sino-Indian border and crisis in Afghanistan.
“And who knows what else might appear on Monday morning, given the many sin disappearances and poor commissions.” Tharoor said.
In disruption rather than the debate to the norm in parliament, the 65-year-old Congress leader said it was known that he had opposed the disturbance on the principle and preferred to debate the problem.
“But if you see the interference in the past few years that has been called by opposition, they are always caused by the ruling party rejection to discuss specific issues to burn national interests, which leave the opposition there is no choice but to draw the attention of the government to avoid the government through interference , “he said.
If the debate is permitted, the interference will be unnecessary, he asserts.
Tharoor urged the government to have the courage to debate any problems that wanted to be raised by the opposition.
“For this reason, the parliament.
The government prefers to treat it as a notification board where they can announce their laws and policies,” he said.
“If the ruling party treats the parliament with respect, which means agreeing to discuss the problems caused by the opposition and not only use their rough majority to encourage the government agenda, I am sure the opposition will reply in the form of goods,” he said.
Asked whether Afghanistan’s situation would also be the main problem that would be raised in parliament, said Tharoor, “Yes, that’s why I mention it with China as two external affairs issues that require discussion.”
