 * Jun 27, 2021 UP law panel examining feasibility of population control legislation


 * Any law against population control will be a conspiracy against Muslims.


 * The rise in the country's population is due to Dalits and tribals and not because of Muslims. It is actually an attack on Muslims in the garb of population control. If the BJP thinks only the Muslim population is increasing in the country, a bill for this law should have been brought in the Parliament so that it could be implemented throughout the country. Why is it being brought in UP?


 * Muslims have already understood not to go in for more two or three children.


 * The impact of NRC in Assam was more on non-Muslims than on Muslims. The population law will also have the same fate. I fail to understand why the Yogi Adityanath government, which has barely seven months left in the office, is talking of a population control law?
