Rizvi's comments came after Bhagwat had said that a policy should be made in place to deal with the problem of population in the country.
"Some people believe that childbirth is a natural process and should not be interfered with. To give birth to more children like animals is harmful to society and country. It will be good for the country if a law is implemented for population control," Rizvi told ANI.
Bhagwat had asserted that population growth is an issue so a required policy should be drafted.
Referring to his earlier statement on the two-child norm, Bhagwat on Sunday said, "I had only said the population growth is a problem as well as a resource. So a required policy should be drafted. This policy will decide how many kids one should have. I did not make any rule as such because that is not my job."
