Nagpur: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday said India should have a population policy prepared after comprehensive thought and be applicable to all communities equally.

Speaking at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's Dussehra rally in Nagpur, Bhagwat said community-based population imbalance is an important subject and should not be ignored.

“Population imbalances lead to changes in geographical boundaries”, he said.

“The new population policy should be applicable to all communities equally to strike a balance”, he said. “There has to be a balance among the communities in this country”, he added.

Pointing out China's One family one-child policy, Bhagwat said, “while we are trying to control the population, we should see what happened in China. That country went for the one-child policy and now it is getting older.”
