Islam is not hostile to the concept of family planning and it is mere "propaganda" that Muslims can overtake Hindus in terms of population numbers, former chief election commissioner S Y Quraishi said on Monday.
Quraishi also said that he believes political parties are not overtly vying today for the Muslim vote because of a ‘charged atmosphere of polarisation’ due to which they feel like if they ‘show softness’ to Muslims, they risk losing the favour of Hindus.
