Summary:
Muzaffarnagar: Hours after Supreme Court on Thursday decriminalised gay sex in India, Muslim clerics and Hindu outfits joined the cause against the verdict. Uttar Pradesh president of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, Yogendra Kumar Verma said, “It is a conspiracy to destroy Hindu culture and all the values important for us. While Deoband-based clerics termed it against Islam and Sharia laws, Hindu Mahasabha declared it a sinister campaign to “destroy Indian ethos and values”.Soon after the apex court passed the verdict, Deoband clerics issued a statement on homosexuals. Homosexuality, whether between men or between women should be considered a crime.” God has created men and women for each other..
