We get many WTF ( What The F**k) statements from our politicians everyday. But this from Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Health & Family Welfare minister takes the cake.
Health and Family Welfare minister Ghulam Nabi Azad believes that the best way to curb India's population growth is to electrify villages, so that couples spend their time watching TV instead of indulging in activities that can increase the country's already excessive population."In olden days people had no other entertainment but sex, which is why they produced so many children. Today, TV is the biggest source of entertainment. Hence, it is important that there is electricity in every village so that people watch TV till late in the night. By the time the serials are over, they'll be too tired to have sex and will fall asleep. Then they won't get a chance to reproduce. When there is no electricity, there is nothing else to do but produce babies," he said, addressing a function on World Population Day on Saturday.
If you think that he was making this remark in a jocular fashion, then he dispels that notion with this follow up statement, "Don't think I am saying this in a lighter vein. I am serious. When light will reach (villages), 80 per cent of population growth can be reduced through TV," he said
If I were to extend his logic, then there should be a population explosion in Kerala, where power cut is a norm for the past 2 decades. And pray tell me how many kids did the (Not so) Honorouble Minister produce during the last 3 years when he moved to Delhi from Kahsmir, for as I understand there is 8-10 hours power cut in Delhi?
I imagine he proposes to introduce a new bill in the parliament creating an exclusive FPPS (F**k Prevention Police Squad) fully armed with Eveready Torchlite. The objecive of this very important arm of our police department will be to peep through the windows of all households whenever there is a powercut or if there is no electricity and to shine the torch in the bedroom. That will prevent higher incidents of f**king in this country.
WHAT AN IMBECILE!!!!
