MAHAKUMBH NAGAR: Sadhus on Friday appealed to Hindus to increase the birth rate and have at least two to three children per family or even more as it was important to check the dwindling population graph of the community.

These views came to the fore at the daylong meeting of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Margdarshak Mandal at the ongoing Mahakumbh.

The sadhus expressed serious concern over the changing demographics posing a threat to the existence of Hindus, said Swami Avdheshanand, Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Juna Akhada, who was present at the meeting.
