Known for his controversial remarks, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Surendra Singh said that every Hindu couple must have at least five children for Hindutva to remain intact. “It is the desire of every spiritual leader (mahant) for every couple to have a minimum of five children. This way the population will be under control, and Hindutva would remain intact,” said Singh. The BJP MLA recently demanded Taj Mahal to be renamed ‘Ram Mahal.’ Earlier he said, ‘incidents of rapes cannot be stopped even if Lord Ram comes on earth. Such incidents can only be controlled by inculcating good values in the society.”
