Fast Growing Demographic Change a Big Threat to Hindus: Giriraj Singh.

India should learn from China, which controlled its population by enforcing the policy strictly and transformed into a developed nation.

Demographic change is a great menace to the Nation and Hindus as well: Giriraj Singh, Union Minister.

HENB | Varanasi | Dec 24, 2015:: Union minister of state for micro, small and medium enterprises Giriraj Singh said recently  that demographic changes in the country’s population was a growing threat to Hindus and the Nation both and strict laws must be formulated to address the ‘imbalance’.

He also suggested that flouters should be debarred from voting and even proposed legal and financial action.

Sri Singh was here to attend Sanatan Dharm Bachao Sammelan organised by Sri Vedshastranusandhan Kendra at GandhiAdhyayan Peeth of MG Kashi Vidyapeeth on Sunday Dec 20.

The rapid changes in nation’s demography and population indicated impending threat to Hindus, he said, adding that widening gap in growth rates of different religious groups would cause religious imbalance in the population ratio. “It will pose a threat to the unity, integrity and cultural identity of the country,” he said.

“We should learn from China, which controlled its population by enforcing the policy strictly and transformed into a developed nation,” he added. He further said that population control was a must for speedy and proper development of the country.

“It is sadhus and saints’ responsibility to convince the society about conservation of our ‘sanskritik virasat’ (cultural heritage),” he said and warned that decline in population of Sanatan Dharma followers would create social imbalance in the country.

“I am saying all these things not as a minister or BJP spokesperson but as a Sanatan Dharmi Hindu. I am first a Hindu, then BJP member and minister. I can quit the post of minister and party, but can’t quit my dharma,” Singh said, adding that the declining population of followers of Sanatan Dharma was a matter of concern.

“The geography and history of vast Aryavart are still there but many parts of this Aryavart have no Sanatan dharma followers,” he added. He also advocated a wide discussion on the definition of minority and introduction for common civil code in India.
