KANPUR: During a high-profile visit to Kanpur on Saturday, March 28, 2026, Milind Parande, the International Organizing Secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), sounded a nationwide alarm over what he termed a “demographic time bomb.”
Addressing a press conference on the occasion of Chaitra Shukla Dashami, Parande asserted that shifting population patterns are no longer just statistical data but a direct threat to India’s internal peace and cultural continuity.
The Call for a National Population Policy
Parande emphasized that the “population imbalance” has emerged as the most significant challenge to the nation’s future. He urged the government to formulate a robust National Population Policy ahead of the upcoming 2026 Census, warning that failure to do so would leave future generations to face “severe consequences.”
“National security isn’t just about soldiers at the border; it’s about the demographic equilibrium of our society,” Parande stated.
Zero Tolerance on ‘Love Jihad’
The VHP leader took a hardline stance on religious conversions and “Love Jihad,” describing them as calculated conspiracies rather than isolated incidents. He claimed these trends aim to dismantle the traditional Hindu family structure and target vulnerable sections of society through inducements.
