Concern Over Population Imbalance

Mohan Bhagwat cited conversion and illegal migration as the two main reasons for the imbalance of population in the country. He said that when there is a change in demography (population structure), the unity and integrity of the country can be affected. He said, "In demography, there is more doubt about intentions than numbers, which can divide the country."

Reasons Cited Religious Conversion

Bhagwat said that forced religious conversion is not a part of Indian tradition. He said that the Catholic Church also prohibits it, and Muslim ulemas also told him that forced religious conversion is also prohibited in Islam. He made it clear that if a person converts of his own free will, he should not be stopped.

Strict Attitude

The RSS chief also expressed concern about illegal migration and said that no person can enter the country without government permission. He said that the government is working in this direction, but it is also the responsibility of the society to keep an eye on it and play its role.

This statement of Mohan Bhagwat has again sparked debate in the country on issues like population policy, religious identity and national security. While some people are considering it a necessary step to maintain population balance, some are calling it a socially sensitive issue.
