New Delhi, 06 Sep 2018: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) on Thursday has expressed its disappointment over the Supreme Court’s verdict which decriminalizes homosexuality by partly striking down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and appeal to the people to ‘save this country from falling into sexual anarchy.’
Muhammad Salim Engineer, the secretary general of JIH sais that this move will destroy the family system.
By decriminalizing homosexuality and permitting male-male and female-female marriage will destroy the family system and prevent the natural evolution and progress of the human race,” Salim said in a statement.
Jamaat firmly believes in the fundamental rights of all citizens and is a strong advocate of freedom and minority rights. However we wish to remind fellow citizens that with freedom comes moral responsibility and no society can accept crimes, vices and anarchy in the name of freedom and personal liberty,” the statement reads.
A five-judge bench of Supreme Court on Thursday stuck down the section 377 which criminalized the homosexuality between consenting adults.
He said that the JIH will educate people regarding it because such practices have destroyed human society.
“We will persevere to educate the people and exercise all democratic options to resist this shameful perversion and decadence in values which ignores religious teachings, our culture and the opinion of the overwhelming majority of the people. Such filthy experiments have destroyed human society and violated the rights of women on large scale in certain countries and we should learn a lesson from it,” the statement explained.
ppealing to the countrymen, the government and all political parties he hopes that the country will be rescued from it.
“Save this country from falling into sexual anarchy, protect our children from vile sexual predators, safeguard the rights of our daughters and sisters and prevent the infringement of the fundamental rights of its citizens as the abrogation of section 377 of IPC will have a cascading effect on the Personal Laws of many religions. We sincerely hope and pray that the country will be rescued from the dark precipice it is rushing headlong into,” the statement reads.
