Jaipur: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Tuesday echoed the recent sentiments of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and said that the consequences of the demographic disorder in the country are no less grave than a nuclear bomb.
Addressing the inaugural session of the International Conference for Chartered Accountants in Jaipur, the Vice President expressed concerns over the growing threat of demographic disorder in the country. “Demographic dislocation is turning some parts of India into political fortresses where elections have no real meaning. It is extremely worrying how some parts of the country have been affected by this strategic shift, turning them into impregnable strongholds where democracy has lost its essence,” he added.
What Mohan Bhagwat said recently
It may be noted that during his Vijayadashmi speech in Nagpur, Bhagwat noted that Hindus in Bangladesh are facing persecution and are a minority in the neighbouring country. Earlier too, he had called for attention to religion-based population balance in the country.
Pointing out the need for India to remain a stable global power, the Vice President added, “This power has to emerge further. This century should belong to India and it will be good for humanity, contributing to peace and harmony in the world. However, if we turn a blind eye to the dangers of the demographic turmoil that is taking place in this country, it will be detrimental for the country.”
‘Biological, natural demographic change was never a cause for concern’
Dhankhar further explained that while the biological and natural demographic change was never a cause for concern, demographic change done strategically to achieve a goal suggests a frightening picture. “An analysis of this demographic change over the last few decades reveals a disturbing pattern that poses a challenge to our values our civilizational ethos and our democracy. If this extremely worrying challenge is not addressed systematically, it will turn into an existential threat to the nation,” he added.
