India is facing a grave threat of jihadi terrorism and the situation is poised to become more dangerous unless the United Nations frame an equal population policy to curb the menace, the VHP today said.
Citing a report of American think tank Pew Research Center, Vishwa Hindu Parishad Joint General Secretary Surendra Jain in a statement said, "Jihadi terrorism poses a grave threat when the Muslim population is 23 per cent, the situation is poised to become dangerous by 2050 when it rises to 30 per cent."
"As compared to any non-Islamic country, India is facing a dangerous situation from the point of view of Islamic terrorism... We firmly believe that there cannot be only a military solution to jihadi terrorism," he said.
As such, he said, the United Nations should take a decision in favour of having an equal population policy and India will have to take fast steps in this direction.
He, however, did not elaborate on what the policy will focus on.
Media reports, quoting the American think tank, recently said that by 2050, India will be the country with the world's largest Muslim population.
