| [Geo News] A proposal has been presented before National Assembly for imposing tax on having many children while Minister for Population Welfare Firdous Aashiq Awan observed that increasing population is linked with terrorism. To a question in National Assembly, Aashiq Awan said due to poverty and illiteracy people tend to engage with elements who exploit them in negative activities. He said if tax is to be imposed on having many children it should be started from members of the Parliament. The Minister said the government admits that it has failed in controlling the population. |
