On July 11, World Population Day, a Union Minister expressed alarm, in a Tweet, over what he called the “population explosion” in the country, wanting all political parties to enact population control laws and annulling the voting rights of those having more than two children. However, the recently launched Economic Survey notes that India is set to witness a “sharp slowdown in population growth in the next two decades”.
