DELHI, INDIA, September 10, 2004: Ridiculing the revised Census figures that show a decline in Muslim growth rate over 1991, the VHP on Friday demanded prosecution of the minister concerned “at whose behest the data reflecting high growth rate of Muslims was changed overnight.” It also threatened to take the issue to court. “Change in the figures because of exclusion of data of Jammu and Kashmir and Assam in the 2001 Census figures is bunkum, and we do not accept it. It is because of pressure from the Muslim League,” VHP leader Praveen Togadia told reporters. Demanding that the government immediately clarify the methodology behind the Census projections, he said the VHP would take the services of a demographic expert to get the Census report examined in detail. He also demanded that the Centre should adopt a policy to control Muslim population growth in Bharat and send back all Bangladeshi Muslims. He said persons having more than two children should not be allowed to hold any elected post from panchayat to Parliament and lauded the Maharashtra government for enacting such a law for panchayat. Apprehending that the Indian society was facing “threats of Islamization,” Togadia circulated statistics on Hindu-Muslim population saying as per current trends, the population of both the communities would be equal after 2051.
