Produce 10 kids before provoking Hindus: Kejriwal tells Mohan Bhagwat

New Delhi, Aug 22: Arvind Kejriwal today attacked Mohan Bhagwat for his suggestion that Hindu couples should have more children, asking the RSS chief to produce "10 kids" himself first and make sure they are "brought up well".

"Before provoking Hindus, Mohan Bhagwat should produce 10 babies himself and bring them up well," the Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister tweeted today.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which Bhagwat currently heads, encourages its members to be celibates.

Responding to a question at an event in Agra last weekend, Bhagwat had said, "Which law says that the population of Hindus should not rise? There is nothing like that. What is stopping them when population of others is rising? The issue is not related to the system. It is because the social environment is like this."

Bhagwat was speaking at a RSS-held programme where teachers from 11 west Uttar Pradesh districts participated. He made the statement after a participant there asked him to speak on the alleged decline in Hindu population.

The audience at the RSS event included university teachers, academics, and a large number teachers from schools in Agra and neighbouring districts.

Earlier today, BJP ally Shiv Sena also termed Bhagwat's comments on declining Hindu population as "outdated" and asked the Centre to implement uniform civil code to maintain "social and cultural balance".

"Mohan Bhagwat has tried to present outdated thoughts in a modern way. His remarks will not be accepted by progressive Hindu community. Also, PM Modi would not agree that increasing Hindu population is the right way to counter growing Muslim population," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

"The government is spending a lot of money on family planning. A rise in Muslim population will undoubtedly affect the social and cultural balance of the country, but asking Hindus to have more children is no solution to the problem. The only solution is to implement the uniform civil code to cap the population of all communities. If Hindus give birth to more children, problems like hunger, unemployment and inflation will only increase," the Sena said.

Sena also sought to know if Bhagwat was discreetly trying to back the idea of Hindus having more than one spouse to boost the population of the community.

The Congress has also attacked Bhagwat, saying "what else could be expected from him."

"Woh Dharm ki hi khaate hain. Woh aur kya baat karenge," (He banks on religion only, what else he can say)," Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Sunday.

"In every statement Bhagwat talks of dividing (society). He should have talked about employment, price rise but he didn't do so," Azad added.

If you don't want to follow any religion, it is upto you.
But at least follow what you easily understand and agree.

Islam says the food comes for you and your children from your creator the ONE & ONLY GOD. This is the faith of Muslims.

Muslims have multiple children and their standard of life or economy is not at all diminishing.

See China, the worlds highest populated country, and it is the fastest growing economy.

Where does your theory work. Read and follow Quran, though you remain in your own religion. Once 100% satisfied then take wise decision what to follow.

May 1: India on Thursday called as "propaganda" certain social media posts from the Arab world alleging harassment of Muslims in several parts of the country in the name of containing the spread of coronavirus.

Strongly rebutting the charges, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the Gulf countries are deeply committed to friendly relations with India and they are even seeking bilateral talks on the post-COVID-19 economic recovery.

Talking about India's close and traditional ties with the Arab countries, he said New Delhi is ensuring uninterrupted supply of food and essential commodities to the region during Ramzan as part of its deep-rooted friendship.

Srivastava said the countries in the region do not support any interference in India's internal affairs.

"Much of what you see is propaganda by interested parties. Stray tweets can not be used to characterise our bilateral ties with these countries. The real picture of these relations is very much different," he said during an online media briefing.

There has been a wave of angry reactions on Twitter by leading citizens and rights activists from various Arab countries following allegations that Muslims are being blamed for spreading COVID-19 in several parts of India.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, a powerful bloc of 57 countries, recently accused India of "Islamophobia". India rejected the charges as regrettable.

"We have been making special efforts to ensure uninterrupted supply of food and essential commodities which are required during the Ramzan period in these countries, and this is something which has been greatly appreciated. These countries also want a priority discussion with India on the post-COVID-19 economic recovery," Srivastava said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar have been in regular touch with their counterparts from the region in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

"In these discussions, there have been requests for sending medicines and medical teams to these countries. We already deployed a Rapid Response Team in Kuwait. There is also a request to send doctors and nurses from India," said Srivastava.

"What comes out clearly is that these countries are deeply committed to friendly relations with India. They also do not support any interference in internal matters of India. It is, therefore, important that the friendly and cooperative nature of our relations is accurately recognised and the misuse of social media is not given credence," he added.

Asked about reports of an order issued by Oman's Finance Ministry asking all state-owned companies to replace foreign workers with qualified local Omanis, Srivastava said it is not aimed at Indians working in the Gulf nation.

"The policy is a decades-old one and not specific to India. It does not target the Indians in any way," he said.

There have been apprehensions that the order will render thousands of Indians working in state-run firms in Oman jobless.

"They greatly value relationship with India. Government of Oman is taking special care of Indians which included free testing for coronavirus, its treatment, providing food," the MEA spokesperson said.

Oman government is also extending certain categories of visas of Indians.

Srivastava said India has been in touch with its friends and partners across the world as part of the collaborative approach to dealing with the pandemic.
