India's Population Control Plan looks like it would make Poverty Worse

From what the pro population control people are saying it looks to be more of an anti muslim thing . The birth rate has already gone down with rise in living standards and more rights for women so instead of continuing to focus and improve on those areas the below is the shit they want. I feel like the BJP wishes to be like China's communist party leaders. (based on how they are dealing with the coronavirus it looks like there will be another form of population control) .


<BJP leader Ashwini Upadhyay on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring an ordinance to control India's population

Interestingly, he cited the example of China, calling it "mahashakti" or superpower, and credited the communist country's rise in the world pecking order to its population control measures.

"Parliament is difficult to run due to the coronavirus epidemic; so, you are requested to immediately bring an effective population control ordinance to stop the population explosion. The law should be strong and effective. Ration card, voter ID card, Aadhaar card, bank account, electricity and mobile connections of individuals who violate it should be cancelled/revoked, the BJP leader wrote in his letter to Modi on the occasion of International Population Day.

Upadhyay advocated a lifetime ban on violators vis-a-vis applying for government jobs, contesting elections, forming political parties, and even becoming party officials. "Such people should be denied all government facilities, including access government schools and hospital facilities and should be sent to jail for 10 years," he opined. Upadhyay claimed that contrary to official figures, India's actual population was around 150 crore, considering the Rohingya refugees and illegal Bangladeshis living in India, as well as "unaccounted Indians".

"Most taxpayers follow the 'We Two-Our Two' rule; but it's the freeloaders who are causing the population explosion," Upadhyay alleged.>
