December 11, 2013 14:48

Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said the government will definitely take into cognisance the verdict of the Supreme Court on criminalising gay sex.

"As far as the government is concerned, if I recall correctly, in 2009 or 2010 when M Veerappa Moily was the Law Minister, he had said that section 377 of IPC should be decriminalised. But since a decision has come, the government will take cognisance of it and let you know," he said.
