Bora was quoted in a report as saying, “In a democratic country, nobody can impose two-child policy on anyone.”

“Let us expand education in a massive way and spread awareness so that everybody spontaneously accepts the two-child policy,” he was quoted as saying.

He added imposing it on people will not be fruitful.

“Our’s is a secular country and our Constitution believes in secularism, so we must respect the religious sentiments of all sections, religions and castes,” Bora added.

Notably, last week, senior Congress leader Harish Rawat called Assam government’s decision as ‘ruthless’ and ‘unconstitutional’.
