It looks union government has decided not to hurt the sentiments of any of the people and hence it played it safe by saying that it will not raise any opposition against the Delhi High Court verdict, which had decriminalised consensual sex between same sex adults. It added that Supreme Court had the complete rights to take the final decision on the issues.
After a meeting, which was held on Thursday with Prime Minister Manomohan Singh as the chairperson, Union Information & Broadcasting Minister, Ambika Sonia said, “The Cabinet considered the report of the group of ministers and decided to ask the attorney general to assist the Supreme Court in every way desired in arriving at an opinion on the Delhi High Court judgement."
When asked if government is adopting a safe stand to handle the issue, which had caused too many problems, she said,” I don't think you can take that viewpoint."
