A comprehensive population control law that is practical and consistent with India is needed to control the country’s population, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Tuesday. Fadnavis was speaking at the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards. The event was also attended by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
“I am not in favor of the method of population control adopted by China – one or none… I think it should be in line with India. There should be one law applicable to all. It is necessary,” Fadnavis said.
He also expressed his support for a uniform civil code. “When the Indian Constitution was drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar, he left it to the states to think about it gradually. The State of Goa has already implemented the Uniform Civil Code. Uttarakhand is thinking about it…. “, did he declare.
“There are a lot of misconceptions about the Uniform Civil Code…that its implementation would endanger booking, etc…but that is not the case. It is based on one nation, one law,” Fadnavis said.
Responding to questions related to farmer suicide and agriculture, Shinde said, “We are committed to zero farmer suicide. During the recent cabinet meeting, we gave a nod for an agricultural package of Rs 11,000 crore. We plan to irrigate two lakh hectares of land. »
