religions<\/a>. Reacting to this comment, the chief of the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Mr. Asaduddin Owaisi says Muslims used the most number of contraceptives, and the total fertility rate which was 2.6 percent in 2016, had now fallen to 2.3 percent.<\/p>\nAsaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said hitting out at Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath over his comments on population imbalance among religions. Owaisi, who is also the chief of the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), said Muslims used the most number of contraceptives, and the total fertility rate which was at 2.6 percent in 2016, had now fallen to 2.3 percent.<\/p>\n
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said it was important to ensure that efforts to control the population did not result in \u201cpopulation imbalance\u201d between religions because this could cause chaos and anarchy.<\/p>\n
The UP chief minister has further said, \u201cIt should not happen that the percentage of population growth of any one class is more while we work on population control with awareness on the native residents or mool nivasi. People should be made conscious to control the population through efforts of stabilization.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to Yogi’s statement Owasi said, \u201cAre Muslims not natives of India? If we see the reality, natives are only tribals and Dravidian people. In UP, without any law, desired fertility rate would be achieved by 2026-2030.”<\/p>\n
The AIMIM chief has further said, “Their own health minister said that no law is needed in the country for population control. It’s Muslims who’re using most contraceptives. The total fertility rate which was 2.6 in 2016 is now 2.3. The country’s demographic dividend is best among all countries.”<\/p>\n
