The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) finally reacted to the SC
judgment upholding section 377. The party said it was
disappointed with the judgment that reversed the landmark verdict of the Delhi
HC on the subject. “The SC judgment thus criminalizes the personal behaviour of
consenting adults. All those who are born with or choose a different sexual
orientation would thus be placed at the mercy of police. This not only violates
the human rights of such individuals but also goes against the liberal values
of our Constitution, and the spirit of our times. Aam Aadmi Party hopes and
expects that the SC will review this judgment and Parliament will also step in
to repeal this archaic law,” it said.
