BJP MLA Vikram Saini tells to keep producing more children until a law comes into force
Muzaffarnagar: Vikram Saini, a BJP lawmaker from Muzaffarnagar, has urged Hindus to produce more children until a law for population control comes into existence.
Khatauli constituency MLA in Muzaffarnagar district, made these remarks while addressing a population control campaign program.
"Until a law on population control comes into existence, I have told my wife to keep producing children, even though she told me that two were enough," Saini said.
On the need to adopt a two-child policy, the BJP leader said that only Hindus have accepted the policy, while others have not.
"The law should be equal for everyone. When we had two children, my wife said we did not need a third one, but I said we should have four to five," he added.
Earlier in January, he had said that "Hindustan is for Hindus" while asking Muslims to go to Pakistan.

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
