NEW DELHI: Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Friday likened India’s burgeoning population to “second stage cancer” and called for a stringent legislation to control it, saying that if not controlled then it will go into the fourth stage and become incurable.
Speaking at a seminar on population control here, Singh, a hardline Hindutva leader of the BJP, said it is necessary to enact a stringent law and those who breach it should face punishments like revocation of their voting rights and economic curbs irrespective of their religions.
He said those opposed to measures for controlling population bring religion into the debate. (AGENCIES)
