In controversial remarks (as expected), the Shiv Sena today said the increasing population of Muslims in the country will cause a language and geographical imbalance and has asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that Muslims accept the necessity of family planning.


The Sena said that increasing the Hindu population to counter Muslims is not the solution and that the "Sangh" should pressurise the government to strictly impose family planning on all religions.


"From 2001-2011, the Muslim population increased by around 24 per cent and must have increased by another 5-10 percent till 2015. The increasing population will cause language, geographical and sentimental imbalance and will create cracks in the unity of the country," the Sena said in an edit in mouthpiece 'Saamana.'


"The Prime Minister should clearly tell Muslims to obey the law of the land and accept the necessity of family planning. The PM promised to address their issues even if they knock his doors midnight. But, will Muslims similarly run to help the country?" it questioned.


"More than the Lokpal, the country needs a Common Civil Code in place," it said. "Whoever wants to try Ghar Wapsi can do so. We do not oppose it. But this is not the solution to stop an Islamic onslaught on the country. Pakistan has an Islamic government. Even countries like Iraq have an Islamic government. But in those countries, human lives there do not have much dignity."
