New Delhi (03/07/2009): Deleting anti sodomy law will lead to more
anti-social activities and will cripple the HIV/AIDS prevention
efforts said Suhail K.K, National President, Students Islamic
Organisation of India (SIO) in a press statement. The Chief Justice of
Delhi High Court Honorable S. Muralidhar in his judgment, legalizing
gay sex, has stated Section 377 of IPC as violating fundamental rights
guaranteed under constitution of India. He said that courts must not
become the worshipers of words and ‘Right to Personal Liberty’ must
not become the license to promote anti-social activities. He also
raised his apprehension that tomorrow, on the guise of ‘right to
personal liberty’, incest and sex with animals would also be
legalized. The judgment says that Section 377 IPC serves as the weapon
for police abuse; detaining and questioning, extortion, harassment
etc. It’s unfortunate that the court has failed to recognize that IPC
itself has inbuilt safeguards like in S. 389, which clearly provides
against the misuse of S.377 or harassment of the homosexual community
by the police or society in general.

Suhail said, Gay and lesbianism are against basic humanitarian values
and against the social fabric of a civilized society. No person is
born homosexual, just like no one is born a thief, a liar or murderer.
These evil habits are acquired from surroundings. The agenda of
homosexuals is just to universalize their behavior and make the
notion that it’s normal. It is extremely sad to see that instead of
trying to implement measures to curb heinous and uncultured practices,
even courts are legalizing them. SIO has a principled stand against
counter values being promoted by market forces. He said that SIO would
raise fundamental debates on morality and sexuality.
