Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday hit back at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat’s community-based population imbalance remark, alleging that it was a “false propaganda” aimed at “unleashing communal animosity” in the country.
In a statement issued by his office, Vijayan alleged the RSS chief’s Vijayadashami Day speech was not based on any facts or figures; instead it was a “lie” aimed at the gains during the upcoming elections.
Bhagwat, on Wednesday, had said that the nation should frame a well thought-out, comprehensive population control policy applicable to all social groups equally and flagged the issue of demographic “imbalance” as he also asserted there was no danger to minorities.
He had also said that community-based “population imbalance” is an important subject and should not be ignored.
Reacting to his speech, Vijayan alleged that it was only a reiteration of the ages-old lie of the Sangh Parivar that Hindus would become a minority in the near future, said the chief minister’s office (CMO) statement.
