BJP MP Rakesh Sinha takes up the much needed Population Control Bill in Rajya Sabha

New Delhi, Feb 4: The Rajya Sabha on Friday was adjourned after discussing two important Private Member Bills: Companies (Amendment) Bill, 2019 and Population Regulation Bill, 2019.

 

 

The Population Regulation Bill, 2019 was introduced in the Rajya Sabha by BJP MP Rakesh Sinha. The purpose of the bill is to control the growth of the population in India. He expressed concern over the continuous increase in population in India. He explained that if the population is not controlled, then we would not have enough resources to lead respectable life after 30 years.

 

 

 

The 2020 bill proposes to introduce a two-child policy per couple and aims to incentivize its adoption through various measures such as educational benefits, taxation cuts, home loans, free healthcare, and better employment opportunities. The 2019 bill proposed by Sinha talks about introducing penalties for couples not adhering to the two-child policy such as debarment from contesting in elections and ineligibility for government jobs.
