An ‘out of Pakistan’ solution for population control—produce kids in non-Muslim nations
New Delhi: Minister of Health and PPP member Abdul Qadir Patel Monday offers a ‘out of Pakistan’ solutions for population problems – clutches who want more children to leave the country and increase Muslim populations in countries where they are in a minority.
At a seminar in Islamabad, the minister said that in 2030 the Pakistani population was expected to cross 285 million. “We do not want to reduce the Muslim population. We want Muslims to be better, more educated and give them better health care facilities, “he said.
Pakistani media outlets like Geo News mention the advice of the Minister of Health ‘outside the box’.
The population is a big reason for Pakistani problems, especially when it remains fragile and overcome with debt. According to the UN projection, Pakistan will see a population increase of 56 percent in 2050, which amounts to more than 366 million people.
A new dawn editorial called The Population Bomb highlighted the seriousness of this problem: “We are struggling against losing battles, slipping by being inevitable towards the future of dystopians where the desires and shortcomings will be our place. The reason? There are too many of us: steps in which the Pakistani population grows quickly beyond our ability to provide millions that call this country as a home. Incredible, it seems that there is still no population control program that is thought of carefully and cohesively. “
Patel stressed the importance of family planning and awareness while saying that citizens need to stop believed in the wrong information that spreads about the steps and vaccination of the State Family Planning, be it Polio or Covid-19. He called this a “very dangerous behavior” in the Pakistani section. The United Nations Report entitled Prospects of World Population 2022 included Pakistan as the main contributor of population growth. “We have a lot in quantity, time,” said the Minister at the seminar.
While some Pakistani people assume that the minister’s statement came joking, the others did not leave their very “childish” statements sliding. “What do you expect when Qadir Patel is such a director and comedy producer,” wrote a user.
Many others write patels as a rather stupid and incompetent person and deplore their appointment as Minister of Health, in a way that calls it a decline in ranking from ministers such as Dr. Faisal Sultan and Dr. Yasmin Rashid.
Some said the minister did not have common sense and put forward the scandal and controversy of his past-calling him a professor who holds a post-doctoral title in money laundering and gang war crimes.
Controversy is not the first for patel
Abdul Qadir Patel was tried because of the alleged relationship with the Pakistani mafia and evidence had emerged about his role in getting gangster treatment that said at the local hospital. This case was registered with Rangers complaints, a federal law enforcement organization, which accused the relationship of patels with local gangsters and Al Qaeda terrorists.
In March, the Sindh High Court rejected his request to suspend a warrant that was not available to him. “The worst part is @bbhuttozardari a graduate of Oxford who smiled with a crime of Qadir Patel,” wrote a Twitter user. Patel is also news for his conflict with PPP and his appointment as Minister of Health also received sharp criticism.
