Oh just another controversial
news has reached to our mutual society circle. Apparently, Suzzane Khan (I
guess no more Roshan) has decided to move out of 17years of relationship
because she has found that her hubby Mr. Hrithik Roshan has physical relations
with another bollywood stud Mr. Arjun Rampal. Looks like Suzzane couldn’t sleep
from the fact that Arjun Rampal is her SAUTAN!!
I don’t have so much time to understand the depth of this news but I would like
to link it with 377. And why not? After all SC has announced it illegal!
Bullshit.
Personally, I don’t
really have an opinion about Gay-Lesbian issue but as a writer and also as an
Indian, I care. I care for the freedom of these people who have chosen a person
from their own gender. Also it gives me a scary thought that may be tomorrow,
not so long from today, our weak judicial and moral police may keep a hand on
my freedom. No I am not in love with any guy but there are certain kinds of
freedom that I enjoy. In the way that SC has reacted to this very normal thing
is horrible and really not acceptable. At one place, we have a list of
criminals turned politicians turned criminals turned politicians who are
actually affecting lives and making our country a horrible place to live and on
other hand our society/SC is running behind same-gender love. The rate at which
crimes are taking place against women, elderly, girl child and innocents... why
can’t SC see this?
You must have
noticed that nowhere in this article I am blaming it on government because with
a bold face and strong words, congress leaders have spoken against SC decision.
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi has said that she is disappointed with Supreme
Court’s reversion of HC order and law Minister Kapil Sibal has told to bring it
back to parliament and to adopt the approach that gives quick results. Of all
the statements made, I liked two- First, made by finance minister P.
Chidambaram who said, “It's gone back to 1860. I don't want to take names but
those politicians opposing it, it's unfortunate. The government must go for
review petition or curative petition,".
Second from Mr. Rahul Gandhi- “My personal view is that these are matters of personal
freedom. I think I would agree more with the high court. I think these types of
matters should be left to individuals. These are their choices. The country is
known for its freedom of expression. That
is what I think.”
(How my friend
reacted after reading this- Congress ko ho kya gaya hai yaar!! Itni achi achi
baatein ho rahi hai...)
This was the
reaction from India’s biggest political party while some other parties who also
hold power in their hands made statements like-
BJP's Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath said
he will oppose any move to change the law. "I welcome the Supreme Court verdict.
When the bill is brought in Parliament, I will oppose it. I oppose any move to
decriminalise homosexuality and endorse Ramdev's comments," he said.
Yogi Adityanath has mentioned ramdev in
his statement so here is what Ramdev said, “The court has respected sentiments
of millions of Indians and declared homosexuality a crime. Homosexuality is not
genetic. It’s just a bad addiction. I can cure it.” I would like to tell Ramdev
to please start a rehab for those who are actually in bad addiction and not for
those who want to live by their freedom.
Just today, a big name got added to the
list of those against homosexuality, Mr. Rajnath singh. BJP president said in a
interview- “we supported section 377 because we believe that homosexuality is
an unnatural act and cannot be supported”
Suddenly in respect to the statements made,
we can see UPA in good light and BJP going towards dark? Time to think Mr.
Modi!
In all that was
written above, I presented you varying views of our political leaders but what
about my view. Let me make it clear that I am very neutral on this issue
because there are many other issues going on in my life that are personally
important to me. If I am neutral then why I wasted my time in writing this
article? Only because I support freedom. Freedom of any kind. In the context of
those individuals and organisations that have stood by these people in love,
you people have a long way to go. For our leaders at helm, there are so many
other important issues and projects depending on which SC should take a firm
stand.
To SC, thanks to
you, truly 377 has become more than just a three digits number!
SC has proved that
we don’t have right to be gay and content.
(For educated illiterates, please check the
dictionary app in your smartphone for the another meaning on GAY)
PS- Dear HR and AR
fans who consider being ‘GAY’ as a curse or disease, please don’t abuse me for
creating this hot news because this news has reached in my kaan through the same society in which you live.
On a lighter note- A
mid aged Delhi wale uncle was asked
about SC verdict- Areh problem kya hai
agar aadmi aadmi mein pyaar badta hai toh!
