Hindus should have ‘eight children’ to protect religion: Religious guru

Religious leader Swami Prabodhananda Giri on Tuesday stirred another row after he advised Hindus to shun 'We two, our two' policy and adopt 'We two, our eight' policy in a bid to save Indian culture. Comparing Hindus to Muslims, the religious guru asserted that if a Hindu couple is unable to up bring their children, they can handover them to his ashram where the children will be taken care of. Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Swami also went on to say that Hindus should ensure that future prime ministers of India are also from their community. Swami Prabodhananda, the national president of Sanatan Dharma Mahasangh, was addressing an event in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal.
