Rampur: Population control is not a communal issue and those who are linking it to a particular religion are trying to impose their distorted mentality and communal thinking, Union minority affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas said on Sunday.
It is heartening that the campaign for population control is being started from Uttar Pradesh, which is the India’s most populous state, Mr Naqvi said, while addressing newly elected representatives of Panchayats on his two-day visit to Rampur.
Endorsing the population control campaign initiated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he said, “it’s our responsibility to fulfil the aspirations of the people who have elected us and expressed their trust on us. Our government is for all, those who have voted for us and also those who have not voted for us. There should be no discrimination with anyone in terms of development.”
Emphasising “Inclusive Development”, he said the Centre and the state government will provide enough funds for development activities to ensure welfare of villages, poor, farmers and weaker sections.
