Two child norm

I completely agree. It is absurd to let the population increase further without any control. Damn anybody if they bring religion into this. If they do, they may settle down in places where they advocate such idiotic notions. This irritating aspect of bringing religion into every damn thing is probably the main reason for our stunted growth. I will support BJP in this even if it is considered "saffronish".

Two child norm is a must, insists Advani
Janjgir (Chhattisgarh), April 12. (PTI): Asserting that population control was not a majority or minority issue, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani on Sunday called for "incentives and disincentives" for bringing a two child norm in the country.

"It is not a question of majority and minority. If it is an educated family, it would adopt two-child norm irrespective of its religious belief," he said.

"I am happy to note that my suggestion for strictly imposing the two-child norm for families to ensure that the gains of development are not dissipated by a population explosion has been incorporated in the BJP's Vision Document and also the NDA manifesto," Advani said.

"Both at macro and individual level, it is necessary to reward those states and families who have played their part in meeting the goals and targets of national population policy."

"We must allay the fears of states, especially the four southern ones who believe that they are being discriminated against precisely because they have managed to strike the right balance between economic development and population growth," he said.

"There is a need for blending of "incentives and disincentives" so that all Indian families in future abide by the two child norm. I re-assert my earlier suggestion of debarring those who violate the two-child norm from holding public office," he said.
