New Delhi: The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has suggested the Uttar Pradesh government to remove the one-child policy norm from its draft population control bill, saying it is likely to lead to furthering of the imbalance between different communities and contraction of the population.

The VHP has also asked the Yogi Adityanath government to remove “the anomaly” of rewarding or punishing the child, instead of the parents, from the Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilisation, and Welfare) Bill, 2021.

“The preamble of the bill states that this is a bill, inter alia, to stabilize the population and promote the two-child norm. The Vishva Hindu Parishad agrees with both objects,” the organization’s working president, Alok Kumar, said in a letter to the Uttar Pradesh State Law Commission (UPSCL) on Monday.

However, sections 5, 6(2) and 7 of the bill, which incentivizes public servants and others to have only one child in the family, go “well beyond the said objects”, he said.

“Therefore, we suggest the deletion of section 5, and the consequential sections 6(2) and 7 to avoid the contraction of the population as also the undesirable social and economic consequences of a one-child policy, and also the removal of the anomaly of rewarding or punishing the child instead of the parents,” Kumar added.

He also suggested to the UPSCL to reconsider the objective of the bill that seeks to bring down the total fertility rate (TFR) in Uttar Pradesh to 1.7 within a certain time frame.

Placing the draft bill in the public domain recently, the UPSCL has invited suggestions from people.

In his suggestions, the VHP working president said a two-child policy is considered desirable for achieving population stability.

The population in a society stabilizes when the average number of children born to a woman in her reproductive life is marginally above two, he said.

“This happens when the TFR is 2.1. At this level of TFR, on average, there are two children born to replace the two parents and the additional 0.1 child provides for the possibility of some children dying before reaching the reproductive age and similar other wastage,” Kumar added.

In a contracting population, he said the ratio between the working-age population and the dependent population gets disrupted.

In an extreme case, the one-child policy would lead to a situation where there is only one working-age adult to look after two parents and four grandparents, he said.

China had adopted the one-child policy in 1980, but had to withdraw it within three decades to get over such a situation, the VHP leader said.

He added that the imbalance between different communities has been “growing” in several states.

“It is becoming alarming in states like Assam and Kerala, where the overall growth of population has declined. In both these states, the TFR of Hindus has declined far below the replacement rate of 2.1, but that of Muslims is 3.16 in Assam and 2.33 in Kerala,” Kumar said.

In these two states, one of the communities has thus entered the contraction phase while the other is “still expanding”, he added.

“Uttar Pradesh should avoid getting into that situation,” the VHP leader said, adding that the one-child policy in the state “is likely to lead to furthering of the imbalance between different communities because they are known to respond differently to the incentives and disincentives related to family planning and contraception”.
