After publishing a controversial column on voting rights for Muslims in its mouthpiece ‘Saamna’, Shiv Sena, jointly ruling Maharashtra with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has featured another provoking article claiming that minorities needed to stick to ‘family planning’ as the ‘growing population of Muslims and Christians has become a threat to Hindus’. Backing similar remarks made by Sadhvi Deva Thakur, a leader of right-wing organization Hindu Mahasabha recently which led to a huge outrage, it objects words like ‘sterilization’ and ‘nasbandi’ and says that it prefers ‘family planning’.
