Don’t burden Indian women with ‘three children’ theory: Owaisi to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat

Hyderabad:  In a scathing attack on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday advised him against imposing his “three children” theory on Indian women.

He also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that animosity against Muslims was “institutionalised” during his tenure.

In an exclusive interview with PTI Videos, Owaisi accused the RSS and organisations sponsored or supported by it of being responsible for “spreading anti-Muslims hatred”.

“And now you are saying, okay, give birth to three children. Who are you to enter into people’s family lives? Why are you trying to put a burden on Indian women, who might have their own different priorities in their lives? So, this is a classic double speak of RSS,” he said.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had on Thursday said every Indian family should have three children to keep the population sufficient and under control. Bhagwat also said RSS doesn’t believe in attacking anyone, including on religious lines.

Talking about Bhagwat’s retirement comments, Owaisi said, “We must not give them the comfort of retiring themselves. They should be retired from politics.”

Reacting to Bhagwat’s remarks on illegal infiltrators, Owaisi said, “Did Narendra Modi raise this even once when the deposed leader was removed by a popular revolution of Bangladeshis? Did Narendra Modi ask her why these Bangladeshis are entering India? Did Narendra Modi and Amit Shah suspend any BSF officers for allowing Bangladeshis to enter India? This is your failure, and let the country know what percentage of Bangladeshis entered India from 2014 to 2024.”
