Govt still cautious on same sex issue

New Delhi, July 03: The Government still appeared to be cautious in its approach on what to do with the controversial law relating to same gender sex with a meeting of three senior Ministers deciding to take an in-depth view on the issue, notwithstanding Delhi High Court order decriminalising the provision.

Home Minister P Chidambaram today held a meeting with Law Minister M Veerappa Moily and Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, all of whom were mandated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to decide the Government’s stand on the issue at a time when the High Court judgement had not come.

Chidambaram told reporters after the 45 minute meeting that the judgement was discussed and it was decided that the Law Ministry would prepare a note on it after which they will look into it.
