Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Pravin Togadia and BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj make yet another comment against Muslims in India. This time Togadia has demanded that Muslims with more than two children must be punished. He accused them of indulging in “population jihad”.
BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj contributed to the idea with his statement that Muslims in India msut be stripeed off their minority status due to increasing population.
The statements come in the light of religion-based census data that was released a few weeks ago. According to the census that was conducted in 2011, Muslim population in India has grown marginally.
They are no longer a minority. They say they are over a quarter of the population. In Kashmir, they are more than 90%. There are many districts where they are 70, 80, 90%, so what is minority about them.
– Sakshi Maharaj, BJP MP
The census data had invited extreme comments from a number of right wing leaders. Alleging that “extinction” of Hindus due to “population jihad”, Togadia has said having more than two children should be declared a criminal offence.
Rather than subsidising each birth of a Muslim kid, it is must that after two children, there has to be the strictest curb. Perhaps a punishable criminal offence and stopping rations, jobs, educational facilities will streamline the population facilitation towards better development.

A serious extinction seems to be on the anvil. And it is of Hindus. There is method in the systematic growth of Muslims... Now, if we do not stand up against the “Population Jihad”, Bharat will soon be an Islamic state. It is also must to strictly implement two children norm irrespective of the political pressures ... The latest census figures are a wake-up call.
