The Freethought Party of India (FPI) in collaboration with the AMOFOI celebrated the World Population Day on July 11 with FPI president Dr Bijayananda Kar in the chair.
Gracing the occasion as chief guest, former General Manager of State Bank of India and RSS functionary Sameer Kumar Mohanty said, “Without radical reduction of population, we would never be able to stamp out poverty and exploitation from any part of the world.”
Mohanty thanked the leaders of AMOFOI for performing casteless, dowry-less, love marriages in a simple way. He said the drive would go a long way for achieving the mission of ‘one-child family.’
Attending as chief speaker, former eye specialist of Guru Govindasingh Government Hospital, New Delhi, Dr Chakradhar Panda stressed on quality English education.
FPI general secretary B Ramchandra CST Voltaire urged upon leaders cutting across party lines to save the world from over-population. Among others, AMOFOI co-founder Swapna Bijayini spoke.
