Welcome initiative by MPs for curbing population-explosion

Kashmir Times. Dated: 8/17/2018 11:03:03 AM

Dear Editor,
It refers to media-reports about 125 Parliamentarians of different political parties like BJP, TDP and shiv Sena led by BJP MP Uday Pratap Singh from Hoshangabad having submitted a memorandum to President of India urging a total ban on government-facilities to families including government-service on birth of a third child. They have even demanded, though not practical enough, of 10-years imprisonment on birth of a fourth child.
All government-facilities including all types of subsidies like on LPG and ration, reservation-benefits, promotion and appointment in government-service, right to contest elections etc should be abolished on having a third child in the family. Rather than 10-years imprisonment on birth of fourth child as suggested by MPs, it should be mandatory for every hospital, private or government, to compulsorily sterilize the woman where husband or wife have more than three children. It is also time to follow other Islamic countries where only one wife may be permissible for a man.
