Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has urged Hindu couples to have two or three children, citing a perceived declining birth rate among Hindus compared to minority-dominated areas. Sarma stated this demographic trend could lead to a future imbalance, urging Hindus to increase their birth rate while advising Muslim families to limit theirs. His remarks have sparked debate, particularly as they come ahead of state assembly elections and follow previous statements on population trends.
