RSS resolution on population

Census showed that the Hindus population showed a decline by 0.7 per cent at 96.63 crore

Ranchi: With the recent census figures recording the Muslim population count at over 17 crores, the three-day RSS executive beginning on Friday, is expected to adopt a resolution calling for a check in the “imbalance” of population growth.

Addressing the media on the eve of the meet, RSS spokesperson Manmohan Vaidya said the recent census which had just come showed an imbalance in the growth of population. “There would be extensive deliberations on the subject during the meeting and a resolution in this context may be taken up,” he said.

Entire top brass of the RSS, including its chief Mohan Bhagwat, will attend the meet. The census showed that the Muslim community had registered a 0.8 per cent growth to touch 17.22 crore in the 10 year period between 2001 and 2011, up from 13.8 crore, while Hindus population showed a decline by 0.7 per cent at 96.63 crore.
