On Monday, 3 December, Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Saamna called for immediate measures to ‘control’ the Muslim population in its editorial – one of the measures includes compulsory sterilisation.

It referred to a report of BSP that said the Msulim population had increased in Rajasthan villages that share the border with Pakistan, and said the Centre should initiate measures to keep a check on the trend, as reported by Times of India.
