'Disgusting, backward thinking': Congress hits out at RSS chief's population remarks

In his address at the 'Kathale Kul Sammelan' in Nagpur, he expressed concerns over the declining population graph and stressed the need to maintain a fertility rate of 2.1. Highlighting historical precedents, Bhagwat warned that societies and languages have disappeared due to an inability to adapt to changing times. "The population should not go below 2.1. Our country's population policy was decided between 1998 and 2002, and for any society to survive, its population should not fall below this level," Bhagwat stated.
