Vasudevanand Saraswat, a Hindu seer at the three-day Dharma Sanstrukti Mahakumbh in Nagpur, said that Hindu couples should have 10 children each, according to a report by The Times of India.
Saraswat also added that the Prime Minister needs to take a more definite and quick decision on the beef ban in the same manner as demonetisation. Ironically, the congregation also saw the demand for the national population policy.
The Dharma Sanstrukti Mahakumbh is an assembly of Hindu seers, supported by the RSS. The three-day affair ended on Sunday.
Other eminent people present at the congregation included Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Assam governor Banwarlilal Purohit and city mayor Pravin Datke.
Aditionally, Loksatta, a leading newspaper from The Indian Express group reports that the VHP working president Praveen Togadia brought up the issue of the proposed Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh and said:
Shakaracharya of Kashi Vishweshwar peeth Narendranand Saraswati brought up the issue of religious conversions in the North East.
