“The country needs a holistic and thoughtful population policy to maintain Hindu population. Continuous conversion and infiltration from international borders leads to lessening Hindu population in the country. Following one-sidedly focus on population control, average of per family population has been reduced from 3:4 to 1:9 in the country in last 40-50 years. It is a matter of grave concern that the population of elders will be larger than youngsters in future in the country,” said Dr Pradeep Dubey, Prant Sanghchalak, while addressing a press conference, on Saturday.
