Bhojpuri actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan, who is an MP from Gorakhpur, is all set to introduce Population Control Bill in the monsoon session of the parliament. This has sparked off a debate on the internet because interestingly, the man himself is a father to four children. Filmmaker Gautam Benegal has also tweeted against the actor-politician.
For the unversed, the bill claims that those who have more than two children should not be granted any special concessions or benefits. It also seeks to ban people with more than two children from contesting local body elections, applying for government jobs and receiving any kind of government subsidy. The debate sparked off after Yogi Adityanath led government announced the draft bill on Saturday.
Filmmaker Gautam Benegal took to Twitter, sharing a picture of Ravi, pointing out that the actor has 4 children and is set to introduce the population controll bill in the parliament. He wrote, “This is Ravi Kishan. 49 years old. He has 4 kids, 3 girls and the youngest a boy. He got 4 kids in the 21st century, not in 1980s or 1970s. This guy will pilot the Population Control Bill in Loksabha!” Take a look at the tweet below:

पुत्र धन की चाहत में @ravikishann जी ने बेटियों की अनदेखी किया बाकी जनसंख्या बढा़ने का कोई और कारण नहीं था।

It just shows the mindset. They don't really care about population. Their ONLY aim is to create Hindu-muslim debate on this too..
Apart from law, need to educate women. Also, inflation and over competition will anyways decrease birth rate in coming years.

While a lot of people have criticised Ravi Kishan’s hypocritical standpoint, some urged others to look at the other side and supported this stance completely.
My parents have three children then they have no right to support this bill or urge the Govt to introduce the bill,are you saying that Sir?

Sir I understand it’s funny & ironic that people with more than 2 kids are now propounding these ideas but at the same time, population control is needed more than ever in our nation. One can easily compare India’s size & population to other big countries & find huge differences.
