"It is important to introduce the Population Control Bill in Parliament. We can be Vishwa Guru only when Population Control Bill is brought," says BJP MP Ravi Kishan. Incidentally, the actor was trolled for preaching from the pulpit after having already fathered a quartet.

New Delhi:BJP MP Ravi Kishan's strong statement in favour of introducing the Population Control Bill in Parliament sparked a Twitter storm on Friday evening. The actor-turned-politician who is also the father of four told news agency ANI that the Opposition should let him move the Population Control Bill.

"It is very important to bring India's population under control. With the way in which it is rising, we're heading towards a population explosion. I request Opposition members to let me introduce the Bill and listen to why I want to do it," the actor added.

Twitter user Roshan Rai said, "Ravi Kishan who has 7 siblings and 4 children himself will bring the population control bill. It's like Osama bringing an anti-terrorism bill." Another Twitter user who goes by the name Punster said, "Ravi Kishan is a legend. He danced to songs like 'Lehenga Utha Deb Remote Se' Acted in movies like 'Saali Bada Sataveli' And then demanded a ban on vulgarity in Bhojpur films and songs.(sic)"

Helmet saves lives" printed on it while driving a scooter without a helmet himself.
