Assam Two-child Policy

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will interact with intellectuals from the Assamese Muslim community tomorrow on the need for a two-child policy.

A good family planning culture, including a 2-child policy, is the only way poverty can be eliminated from among Assam's Muslims, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said today amid concerns that the minority community may be targeted.

The Assam government, that has made headlines with its advocacy of a two-child policy, may bring new legislation during next month's budget session of the state assembly to enforce it widely.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday said the Assam government will gradually implement a two-child policy for availing benefits under specific schemes funded by the state.

The two-child policy the Assam government is implementing may also apply to politicians and legislators, state minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the man behind the policy, has said.

The BJP government in Assam has proposed extending its controversial plan for a two-child policy to include lawmakers from the state and said today that it will recommend their disqualification if they do not adhere to it. Those who have more than two children will be barred from contesting elections.
