New Delhi: The Delhi High Court verdict legalising gay sex will open the

floodgates of immorality in the country. This will not only destroy human values

and sacred family relations it will also destablise the social fabric and family

structure, said Dr Manzoor Alam, Chairman, Institute of Objective Studies,

opening a seminar on the issue at India Islamic Cultural Centre in New Delhi

today.

" The Delhi High Court verdict reflects the sentiments of a minuscule minority

while the voice of 99.9% of Indian population was ignored, " said Dr Alam at the

seminar organized by Institute of Objective Studies on The Delhi High Court

Judgement: Section 377 IPC and its Consequences.

The verdict scrapping the Section 377 of IPC which had till then held as

criminal act sexual intercourse against the order of nature has infact brought

to fore several clashes and conflicts that are serious in nature and confronting

the country, he said.

The verdict manifests clashes between various groups and values: elit vs

non-elite, rich vs poor, saner vs non-saner, creating national leadership of

India vs following leadership of others, dignity of mankind vs indignity of

mankind, and natural vs unnatural.

While Section 377 was hardly ever used to criminalize private sexual acts though

unnatural, yet it was decriminalized for some great purpose -- to destablise the

morality of the country, to turn it into a sex industry, said Dr Alam.

Blasting the argument that Section 377 was brought by the Britishers about a150

years ago, and thus it should have been changed as it was too old, Dr Alam

asked: if the sacred relations between son and father, mother and daughter and

brother and sister which have been practiced since time immemorial should also

be changed.

Delivering keynote address Purshottanam Mulloli, General Convenor, Joint Action

Committee, Kannur, lambasted Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily for allegedly

influency the courts.

" Moily's statement praising Delhi High Court order two days ago while the case

is pending in the Supreme Court is highly objectionable, " Dr Mulloli said adding

that the statement amounts to influence the court.

Mr Moily had did the same 10 days before the Delhi High Court order when he he

said he will do something in this regard and that legalization of gay sex will

be important to protect one from HIV/AIDS.

While lamenting the media for glorifying the gay sex and insulting religious

leaders for their opposition of the issue, Dr Mulloli stressed the need for

religious people to come to street against the verdict.
