Jaipur: Leaders from various religions while addressing a seminar held in Jaipur on Sunday welcomed the Supreme Court decision on Article 377 and warned the government against legalizing the homosexuality saying all acts in West should not be imitated.
"Each and every action of the West can't be imitated as our social and moral norms are totally different from them and in many studies it has been found that disease of AIDS spread more faster through this unnatural act", said Shujaat Ali Qadri, Gen Secretary of Muslim Students Organization of India (MSO) Rajasthan State.
He was speaking at a seminar organised by the MSO in coordination with 'Desh Bachao Andolan' at the Press Club of Jaipur on the topic 'Homosexuality is danger to society and humanity'.
"Homosexuality is an evil and threat to the very institution of the society. The gays, lesbians or bisexuals have a disease which can be cured but society can't allow them to shatter the family system", he added.
"Tomorrow some people may like to have consensual sex with their family relatives, can society allow them on the plea of the protection of their rights?", he asked.
"Each and every right has certain limitations and we are of the view that Supreme Court has very rightly decided against repealing section 377 of Indian Penal code which punishes unnatural offences. MSO demands from the government not to support this unnatural act in any manner", he said.
Christian religious leader Father Vijay Paul proved from Bible that homosexuality is unnatural offence and must not be allowed.
Social activist and Jain leader Panchsheel Jain said that Jainism disallowed this type of inhuman act. He was of the view that it is a western agenda to spread diseases in India to sell their products and medicine.
Muslim religious leader Ansarul Qadri from Sunni Darul Ifta,Jaipur said Islam has already given a message more than 1400 years before that homosexuality is against the society, and is unnatural offence because it has potency to disintegrate the society and family.
Former Chairman of the Rajasthan Minority Commission Sardar Jasbeer Singh welcomed the decision of the apex court and said that we all should honor the decision of the Supreme court.
Hindu leader Vidwan also accepted that homosexuality is serious crime and the government must not frame any law which legalizes it.
Syed Muhammad Qadri MSO president , author Narendra Sharma Kusum, Chaudhary Salawat Khan(former waqf Board Chairman) and Kalpana Jain also expressed their views. Programme was organized in coordination with Sandesh and Anuvrat society.
