Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin advised the youth to have children soon after marriage and said that more population seems to be a criteria to get more parliamentary seats. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) President Stalin while addressing a wedding ceremony said that many years ago the newlyweds were advised not to have children immediately after marriage.
What did Stalin say
Stalin said that however, this advice should no longer be given and there is no need for it. Stalin said that this is because now such a situation has arisen that more population will be ensured only when the process of delimitation will be on the basis of population. He said that Tamil Nadu paid attention to population control and was successful in it but now the state is suffering the consequences. He appealed to the bride and groom and said, “I will not tell you not to have children in a hurry, but immediately have children; And name them beautiful Tamil. ”
Stalin, referring to a Tamil proverb, said on 21 October 2024 that the exercise of Lok Sabha delimitation could make people think about the upbringing of “16 children”.
Last year, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu urged the people of his state to have more children. He had talked about making new policies to encourage people to produce more children.
Naidu also said that a person can become a sarpanch, city councilor or mayor only when he has more than two children. Expressing concern over the falling birth rate, Naidu had said that India should not repeat the mistakes made by other countries like South Korea and Japan, where there has been a huge decline in birth rate.
Stalin said that the question of delimitation is related to the protection of Tamil Nadu’s rights and its interests, so the matter should not be evaluated political. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu alleged that the Central Government is planning to implement the three-language policy under pressure and similarly in the delimitation, it is trying to cut the number of seats for Tamil Nadu.
An all -party meeting is being held on March 5 on the proposed delimitation exercise in this backdrop and most of the 40 parties have confirmed their participation. Some parties have said that they will not participate in it. The Chief Minister has appealed to such parties not to look at this issue with the glasses of politics.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former Union Minister’s Vasan -led party Tamil Manila Congress (Mupanar) said that she will not attend the meeting. Stalin said, “I would like to appeal to him to consider it. This is not an issue between the DMK and your party. ”He appealed that this issue is about Tamil Nadu and its interests and rights. Stalin said that, so parties who have announced that they will not participate, they should also participate in it.
