New Delhi, July 02: Ruling Congress and opposition BJP today chose to be circumspect to the Delhi High Court verdict legalising homosexuality among consenting adults and refrained from welcoming or condemning it, keeping in mind the differences on the issue in their organizations as well as the society.
Congress said the High Court verdict was between the court and the government.
“It is between the court and the government and the party has nothing to do with it,” party spokesman Shakeel Ahmed told PTI.
Last week, at the AICC briefing, Ahmed had said the Congress does not have any view on this matter and there has been no discussion in the party on the issue.
Law Minister M Veerappa Moily, who was given the task of building a consensus between the Home and Health Ministries on the issue, was also cautious.
“We need to examine the details of the judgement.
