Muslims illiterate, bear more children: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi

Ibnlive

New Delhi, September 9: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi kicked off a fresh controversy by blaming the high illiteracy level among the Muslims for their growing population in the state.

Speaking to Karan Thapar on Devil’s Advocate, the Chief Minister said Muslims are outnumbering Hindus in Assam not because of the increase in illegal migration from Bangladesh but because Muslims are illiterate and create more children.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:

Karan Thapar: Assam may have grown at a lower rate than the nation as a whole, but within Assam the Muslim population in some districts has grown much faster than the Hindu’s.

Let me quote some of the figures. In Kokhrajhar, 19 per cent Muslim increase, 5 per cent Hindu, in Dubri 29 per cent Muslim increase, 5 per cent Hindu, in Bongaigaon 31 per cent Muslim increase, 2 per cent Hindu. Clearly this phenomenal increase in Muslim population can’t be for natural reasons, it has to be because of immigration.

Tarun Gogoi: It is because of low literacy, illiteracy. Illiteracy is there, most of the Muslims are illiterates. Every family has six, seven, eight, nine, 10 members. It is because of illiteracy.

Karan Thapar: You seriously are saying that the Muslims population is increasing because they are illiterate and creating more children than Hindus?

Tarun Gogoi: Ya.

Karan Thapar: You really mean that?

Tarun Gogoi: Yes, it is because of illiteracy.

Karan Thapar: This is a very controversial answer Chief Minister. People would say this tantamount to saying that the illiterate breed more.

Tarun Gogoi: Yes, 100 per cent I believe.

Funny looser has omited his secret RSS vemon. He speaks without facts. I have seen many educated Hindus bear more children than Muslims and even polygamy is wide spread in them. Only circumcision can give you satisfaction and happiness in addition to cleanliness and odorless.

At last Tarun Gogoi proved that he is a waste product of the state by giving such idiotic statements.
If he cant produce children,he cant blame muslims but better to consult a doctor.

When a State CM cant control the riots better to get lost from the post

Well said Mr.Ranjith. 100 percent correct.
To produce children no need literacy Mr. Gogoi. You are jealous.

Just look at china. Total population there is more than any other country. Still economy is booming up.

So no need to worry about the population, because human resources is very much needed for the well development of the nation.

So Tarun Gogoi did these riots purposefully to reduce the Muslim population. It proves he is an RSS guy. Any how he agreed that he wanted to reduce the population of Muslims. That's why he killed them. We trust on our judiciary system of India. Let us wait and see.

Dear INDIAN,
For your kind info, Looser's are Most Successful in this world..Learn it from the History..!!

As per Tarun Gogoi, he sponsored riot to kill the Muslims so he wants to reduce the Muslim population in Assam. He is not a secular he is a communal minded. If he knows that Muslim populations are increasing because of illiteracy in Muslim community why he did not give proper education to the Muslims so he can reduce the population. He is not the first citizen of Assam he is the least citizen of Assam. Do not worry Tarun Gogoi, Muslims will teach you a good lesson to you in the next election.

One of the reasons that Muslim families conceive is that they wash their private parts after urinating and this gives less chance for any infection or vd or std.
Learn to wash your genitals after urination!
A secret tip to have more kids!

As per his theory, if his parents were educated he wouldn't have been existing also!

Shame on you Mr. Tarun. U r the chief minister of Assam and you saying that the Muslims in your state are illiterate. Why you are not opening schools to give them education. Why you are not giving them their primary needs (schools, hospitals etc.). Give resignation for the post of CM now. You are not a congressman, you are RSS AGENT in congress.

+11 #5 Sinan, Mangalore — 2012-09-09

All are RSS but different colors instead of Saffron..!

+12 #4 Mohammed, India — 2012-09-09

Non Muslims are killing their babies before born as they are selfish. If every one thinking about population then no human heing has rights to exit on this beautiful earth created by God. God will feed every one who has choosen the right path described by him.

Mr.Tarun Gogoi,who ruled India for over a period of 60 Years..? if Congress is a Secular Party & y dint they tried to uplift the minority in education field..? Congress Voters are Mainly Muslims.then Y the illeterate Muslim Population Exist in india..?? you people never and ever will uplift the Muslims, only you can turnish the image of the muslim.most of the congress people having the same agenda of R.S.S, now its high time for muslims to teach a lesson to these Idiot People and their Paties...!!

This proves that the riot was "State Sponsored". Absolutely we don't find any difference between 2002 Gujarat riots & 2012 Assam riots.

+20 #1 Ibrahim, KUWAIT — 2012-09-09

Mr. Tarun Gogoi, to decrease the population of muslims u r supporting the other community to increase the riots against muslims to kill them...
this statement is to hide the assam bodos riots which happens recently...
