BJP MP Blames Aamir Khan for ‘Population Imbalance’. What Even?

One of my favorite modes of entertainment is when all these politicians have something to say about a serious issue. Usually it’s unimportant and absolute nonsense but always entertaining.  Whether it is Donald Trump using his Twitter account to speak the most random of things or BJP MP Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta blaming the actor Aamir Khan for population imbalance in the country – these politicians seem to draw the weirdest connection between any two subjects.

Recently, the BJP MP Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta expressed his concern about overpopulation in the country. But what made this expression controversial was the fact that he blamed people like Aamir Khan for the situation. Weird right?

Here is the explanation for his claim. Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta said that “Talking in Indian perspective, people’s hero is Aamir Khan (Bollywood star) whose first wife Reena with kids and Kiran Rao with one kid has been left to wander around by Khan who is unbothered and has started the search for the third wife.” The BJP MP said this statement right after he spoke about the fact that there is not much land left in the country while the population of the country is constantly and rapidly rising – it has reached the 140 crore mark which is definitely not a good sign.

He even took a dig at the partition, where he stated that Pakistan got a large portion of land and a lot of the population was pushed back into India without getting any extra land. With regards to his take on the split of Aamir Khan and his second wife Kiran Rao, the BJP MP Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta said, “It’s ironic that people like Aamir Khan have a role to play in population imbalance in the country.” He also added that those who claimed that people like Aamir Khan have ‘no brains for a job other than selling eggs’ are indeed correct.

To further emphasize his point, Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta put forth the example of a woman who died during the childbirth of her eighth child. He even quoted her stating that she was happy that all eight children will be spreading God’s message to the world.

BJP MP Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta believes that population control and a check on distorted mentality are needed for a progressive approach. There is no denying that we are facing an population crisis but seeking out random connections doesn’t help the case.

I definitely agree with BJP MP Mandsaur Sudhir Gupta that there needs to be population control to help keep the population in check. We as a society need to understand the gravitas of the situation and take the necessary steps to control the population. Starting with spreading awareness and making people aware of the importance of family planning.
