RSS should clear its stand on homosexuality: Digvijaya

December 15, 2013 16:23

As BJP endorsed the Supreme Court order against homosexuality saying it will not support any "un-natural act", Congress today said the RSS should also break its silence and give its view on the issue.

"On Article 377 we would like to know the official version of RSS," party general secretary Digvijay Singh said on Twitter.

While initially BJP leaders had refused to take a stand on whether they support the order or not, BJP President Rajnath Singh has said that if the government convenes an all-party meeting on the issue, his party will support Section 377 of IPC which bans homosexuality.

"If an all-party meeting is called, we will support Section 377 as we believe that homosexuality is an un-natural act. We cannot support it," Singh said.
