New Delhi: Yoga guru Ramdev has set a condition for people who marry and produce more than two kids. According to him people who don’t marry, like him, should be respected while kids whose parents produce more than 2 children should not receive voting rights.

Ramdev is not new to controversy. The Swami had earlier sparked a row when he claimed that yoga can help in preventing rape cases. Speaking at a seminar he said that it is shameful that India is being dubbed as “rape capital” by some due to rising cases of rapes and stated that yoga can help in its prevention.

Couple of years before he faced flak for launching an herbal drug called “Divya Putrajeevak Beej” which translated as “Divine Son-Bearing Seed” under his brand Patanjali Ayurved. The drug claims to help women conceive sons. Later, the opposition demanded the medicine to be pulled from pharmacy shelves.

In February, Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Vikram Saini while addressing a population control campaign programme said that until a law for population control is passed, Hindus should not stop producing children.

“Until a law on population control comes into existence, my Hindu brothers, you should not stop. You should keep producing babies,” Saini said. He later added that while Hindus have accepted the two-child policy, others have not.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological parent of the ruling BJP government at the Centre has for long stressed on Hindu couples to have more kids for the sake for society, the Hindu culture and the Hindu civilisation.
