A newspaper clipping is doing rounds on social media claiming that there will be no government jobs for people having more than two children.
The Facebook caption read, “इससे कोई फायदा नहीं है, सरकारी नोकरी करने वाले बहुत कम हैं, और अब वेकेंसियां भी कम आ रही हैं।
ऐसे लोगों की नसबंदी करना , वोटरकार्ड से नाम हटाना, मृत्यु के बाद इनकी बॉडी मेडिकल एक्सपेरिमेंट में लेना, कोई भी दवा टीका परीक्षण में इनका उपयोग करना आदि शायद कारगर हों”
(Translation, “There is no benefit from this, there are very few who do government jobs, and now vacancies are also coming less. Sterilizing such people, removing names from voter card, taking their body in medical experiment after death, using them in any drug vaccine test etc may be effective.”)
