  • On Friday, BJP MP, Ajay Bhatt has introduced a private member’s Bill in Lok Sabha seeking to limit the number of children per married couple to two.

  • The Population Control Bill, 2019, proposes that couples who have more than two children after the Act come into effect.
     
  • The Bill also proposes incentives for those who comply, including preference in government jobs.
     
  • Bhatt in the Bill has also said, “After China, India is the most populous country in the world. Increasing population leads to more poverty.”
